Delco HEI

[IHMagellan@domain.elided]

Ken,

How do you go about doing the HEI swap?  Does it use a Chevy, GM corporate, or
custom distributor housing?  I thought I had heard of this swap a few years
ago but hadn't seen anything else about it so I assumed I had dreamt it.

Thanks,
Jerry Muncie

 great in the morning when they are both warming up together...
 
 A few of my favorite modifications:
 
     - Replaced my points distributor with a Delco HEI (cost $150, and
       provided great after-market options and out of the box improvements)
 
     - Balance tube between exhaust pipes on my scout (*really* quieted
       it down, possible performance bennies - but I can't be sure because
       I also added tri-y headers at the same time)
     
     - Rearched the springs (and added an additional leaf) on the T'all, 
       and made other general repairs/fixes to suspension.  It now drives
       like a new $35k truck! Ok, well the front leaf springs do give it 
       a different kind of ride, however.
