Distributor question
I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I couldn't tell from the description/photos in the repair manual. How can I tell if my distributor uses points or HEI? Looking to replace the cap & rotor, but I can't figure out which I need...
Thanks.

Re: Distributor question
Pull the cap off. If you see points, then that's what you have. Good luck, and remember: Never such a thing as a dumb question.
If it's an '84, it's almost assuredly an HEI. HEI:  Points:

Re: Distributor question
another easy way to tell is there is a separate coil which is fed from a wire in the center of the cap to a usually black thin can nearby
