Aftermarket small cap HEI.
I have a 283 from a 64 c10. (Currently in 51 GMC)
I acquired an old edelbrock intake. A 1406 carb a pair of valve covers. Those came with 2 new ish. Aftermarket small cap distributors. Look identical. The part number is Jm6701r. Google tells me nothing. The cap uses different wires than my points dis. Is it worth installing? I do NOT want a mad box. I do Not think there is firewall room for an original large cap hei. What coil? My current coil is new 12v no ballast resistor required. The ug wires are different.. What thoughts or prayers would you suggest? Last edited by Marty68; 04-05-2020 at 08:24 PM.

Re: Aftermarket small cap HEI.
Would either be better than stock points?

Re: Aftermarket small cap HEI.
I don't know about the quality of that particular distributor, but HEI is a huge upgrade over points systems in general. I found several different vendors with that part number on Amazon, but all told there are only four reviews; three are 5-star and one is 1-star.
I would say try it, what do you have to lose, but since it requires different wires...

Re: Aftermarket small cap HEI.
This guy can probably sell you a different cap that will work with what you have wire wise - https://swapmeetparts.com/contact/
Also Blueprint Engines sells them (caps for small HEI).

Re: Aftermarket small cap HEI.
I had old dist out. Set points to .017.
Adjusted timing. Played with throttle to give full range of motion. This thing runs AMAZING.. Likely not using aftermarket dist. Trading accuired 600cfr. Edelbrock for 500. I will install intake carb likely next weekend. At that time I wiss lset up another set of points to carry as a spare.. while looking for good used gm hei.... or not lol Thanks for helping a youn old guy figure things out. |
