Re: HEI Conversion
for those that have it how is your clearance with the firewall? My truck came with an HEI in it but it seems super close, I havn't started my truck to see how much it moves around

Re: HEI Conversion
It is close alright -- mine is a GM HEI from a mid-Seventies Chevy. I had to remove the cap to drop the distributor in, but it has never hit the firewall.

Re: HEI Conversion
You could convert your points distributor to electronic. And you wouldn't have to worry about firewall clearance. Google this. PerTronix IgnitorŪ Solid-State Ignition Systems.

Re: HEI Conversion
I have did the conversion on both of my trucks. They make a small HEI distributor and that is what I when with it is great. I got both of my distributor
off of eBay.
