Re: What HEI Ignition to get?
OK, here's the deal.
On a 1970 4x4 Suburban you cannot use the standard BIG cap HEI. Measurement from firewall to center of distributor is about 2-3/8 inches. So maximum diameter distributor you can use is about 5 inches. That means you have to use the small cap HEI or convert to Petronix or something. Thanks to everyone for the info and help. Dan

Re: What HEI Ignition to get?
I'm considering this Skip White distributor for my 1983 C10.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SBC-B...QQcmdZViewItem Sounds like everyone has nothing but good things to say about them. I've had bad luck with distributors. I had the weight pins on a Proform come apart on me and now my MSD pro-billet is acting strange. Don't really want to spend too much money right now. How many miles you guys have on these Skip White units? Anyone had to do a warranty claim with him? Has anyone purchased his plug wires? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SPARK...d=p3911.c0.m14 Thanks!

Re: What HEI Ignition to get?
I've been running the Skip White Distributor for about a month now. So far so good. Everything looks and works great. Lifetime warranty too. We'll see how well it lasts.

Re: What HEI Ignition to get?
The only issue I noticed with the skip white HEI compared to my GMPP HEI is that it didn't spin as "freely" as the GMPP. It was like good vs. ok bearings... for the price it would still make a good choice for an average motor.

Re: What HEI Ignition to get?
I have to put in my 2 cents on the skip white ones, VetteVet told me about them and I have had mine in my 283 for a couple of months now and no problems with it at all. Napa wanted like $60 for a new coil and I got the skip white one for $45 so you can't beat it.
