Re: HEI distributors?

Check with GMC Bubba, he does a lot of conversions using the original distributor housing with pretty much off the shelf oem style electronic parts.

You can either send your distributor in and have it redone or buy one of his cores but the distributor is completely rebuilt and then converted to electronic.

Here is a tech article that was posted on the HAMB http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...d.php?t=189074

He makes it look pretty simple.

Probably not because some of the engines noted are the factory donors for HEI conversions in the linked articles. It also looks a lot like the V8 China ones that have notorius problems. Look at the links, get a good quality GM unit off a later 6 and modify it, if I remember right you can do it with hand air grinders, no lathe or milling machines required.
