dumb question about 350 CI in a '76 C20

Where's the coil? I've looked and I can't find it. It must be hidden away deep in some obscure corner.



P.S. I long to be driving inlines again.

Thumbs up Re: dumb question about 350 CI in a '76 C20

It should have the large HEI distributor in it and if so the coil is mounted in the top of the distributor cap.

Is that something that needs to be timed correctly or something? What's the protocol for removing it?

Re: dumb question about 350 CI in a '76 C20

three screws and removing two plugs i believe. You can pull the whole cap off, 4 screws or L screws depending on what you have. ive seen both, and no doesnt affect timing as long as you keep your dizzy where it is.
