Re: New to forum - Looking for information
I love hearing what others have said. I'm the first one to cut one up. But you have a darn nice truck condition-wise and valid documentation from day one. I'd really think seriously about restoring it back to original. In these tough ecnomic times, I'm betting it would be a fair investment. I'm not a restore freak, but buy another shell later to modify. One with no pedigree.

Re: New to forum - Looking for information
OK, I'm going to show my mechanical ignorance a little. I did a search for HEI both on the forum and on ebay and now realize that it is a distributor. What is the benefit of the HEI distributor over the stock distributor? Is this an easy unbolt one device and bolt the other in swap or is it more complicated than that?

You come and go as you want. There all kinds of stuff out there from high dollar cars & trucks to projects in the works but most are closer to finished... if nothing else just come out there and look around & see if you'd like to bring your truck out the next week or not. It will only be going on for a few more weeks (thru October) so you could always check it out in the next few weeks & aim to get the truck out there when it starts again next April. |

--unhook battery --remove dist cap and mark where the dizzy is pointing. (for ease, kick the motor until it's pointed straight back at the firewall or some other easy reference.) --remove dist and coil --install HEI with the bug pointed to the same point that the dizzy was. --check three times to make sure you're confident that you've done the previous step. The HEI shaft will rotate slightly as you engage the drive gear and it's easy to be a tooth off from where you think you are. --using 10ga wire, run 12V from an ign hot source on the fuse block --apply power and test What did I miss, guys?
