Does anyone here have any experience with it?
I was thinking of trying their conversion kit and coil on my Cad 500. I don't really want a big HEI sitting right at the front of the motor.

Have one also installed almost 2 years ago. Working fine. I got one of their coils also.

Ditto for me on my 250. I also have one of their coils.

Cool!!
Thanks for the info......I called Summit. The "Big Brown Truck" should have the stuff here in a few days. I ordered the igniter, coil, MSD wires, new rotor and a red dist. cap. It's gunna look sooo purty. I'm not gunna want to put it in the truck.

I'm going to paint the motor Caddy dark blue. I've already ordered chrome valve covers and stainless 12 pt. fasteners. The little bit of red in the cap and wires should set it off pretty well.

You're right but the 514 cubic inches inside of that purty package will make it fast.
