Re: How to tell if I have an HEI distributor?

Stick a Pertronix in a factory or repro small body housing. Even with a stock coil it'll be plenty for non-supercharged applications, particularly if you're under 11:1 compression, which I presume you must be.

I have the Ignitor III in my 402 and the Ignitor II in my 502, both are great. The III causes problems with some repro tachs, but I borrowed and then bought a unit that appears to work with the III as well (random luck,I think).
