Re: Looking for distributor advice
There's a variety of small cap/external coil H.E.I. distributors out there. Speedway sells one for under $70. Awhile back we replaced the tach. drive points distributor on a friend's '64 Corvette with a small cap H.E.I. tach. drive. Bought the stock looking one w/black cap & wires. The car starts & runs much better.

Some you use a ballast resistor. Like a mopar does. You want to stay stock looking then this would be the way to go. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/p...xoCd9kQAvD_BwE |

Re: Looking for distributor advice
Switching to GM HEI is the best change I ever made to any of my vehicles. Starts easier and idles smoother due to a better spark. Set it and leave it alone. And the biggest plus is they are simple and you can find parts almost anywhere. I've only used the large cap dist but now that I have moved my engine to the 4wd location a smaller cap model would make it a bit easier to service. I'm not big on aftermarket units or conversions.
