HEI Distributor question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Gianyveedub · 10-14-2011, 04:05 AM

Hey all, I have not been on the forum for a while because the thrust bearing in my 230 went bad. I bought a 235 from a guy for 200 dollars. This engine was not easy to fit into my truck. I had to fabricate everything...the throttle linkage, z-rod support, engine mounts blah, blah, blah. Now my question is I have a 1975 Pontiac Firebird engine (6 cyl) with an HEI Distributor. I would like to take the Distributor and use it with the 235. I have read that some had to modify it and some say nothing was modified.

Has anyone had experience with it??
It looked like it was the same length.
