I'm just curious how that worked and what was involved. Posted on: 2007/7/9 15:09

You use a Pontiac or Olds distributor, and some slight modifications. It's pretty easy, just use the original Packard lower shaft. I can give anyone directions on how to make one.

I've had the HEI in my V8 for 2 years, and haven't had a lick of trouble from it. I've never even touched it since I first put it in there 2 years ago. Posted on: 2007/7/10 13:07

It's not as hard as you think it is to do. Posted on: 2007/7/11 1:01

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Either a pm or email at wlsteiner@suddenlink.net. Thanks Bill Posted on: 2008/6/23 21:45
