Hei

Any one out there playing with HEI distributors? i just purchased one and am waiting for it to arrive its an accel. lemme know what you all think pls and thanks

 

Im not gonna lye to you i bought one off ebay with the billet shaft and it looks good. But when i installed it in the motor it was huge. I went and bought a 85 gt dizzy and like it much better.

I hope you like yours better than i did. Good luck to ya.

 

yeah i know they are big. im more worried about how it work..... ill do something to make it fit in and match the rest of what i have going on. i just wanna ditch points and plus i need the upgrade anyway and it was a really good price too. so yeah im just questioning how its going to perform. thanks

 

ITs an nice simple upgrade all in one unit. only issue is getting over the look of that huge dizzy out front. I'm sure it will work great and the look is your call.

 

.

mine works great, it is big but as long as it works i can live with it.

 

hmm guess ill see when i get it and try to find a way to make it work ha... thank you for the input. tell me more about it im new to hei and glad to hear more input thanks

 

i have a nice big blue one and i think its a lot better then having a old style coil on the intake, it looks cleaner then the original that's for sure.

 

sweet thats good to hear. kinda what im hoping for and improved timing and what not too ha thank you

 

anyone else have any input on the performace side of hei and how much it will or would help? im curious with this type of ingintion idk much about it ha im a noob to this subject but learning qick to it

 

I have one and picked up a spare for $40 on ebay. The spare goes in the trunk on road trips. I like having a complete backup ignition with one (or two with tach) wire change to swap.

 

thats a good idea thanks for the info.

 

You might have to get an offset air filter to clear the HEI and if you have a factory AC unit there tends to be problems.

 

yeah i will be changing my air cleaner for sure because i have a big oval one on there now so ill go to a regular circle one to make due.

 

Some of the guys have to go with an offset 14" air cleaner, because the regular air cleaners will hit the distributor.

 

right i figured as much. im not using a stock air cleaner or do i have ac. my car isnt very close to stock so doing alil modding is ok to me aslong as i can make it look good to my taste and perofrm well. i have a big oval shelby type air cleaner now that i kno i will have to take off and use a diff air cleaner for sure
