HEI Distributer?

Anybody have any experience with these?

Will it work as advertised or is it a cheap piece of trash?

 

I've had mine for almost two years and love it. Never a problem.

 

the only bad thing is the clearence issue because of it's size.... (and it looks like a chevy part )

 

There is that. I had to use an offset air filter base to run a 14" air cleaner, but that's it. A smaller one would fit fine too. And I believe next weekend I'll either confirm my belief that the stock AC compressor and associated bracketry will clear it, or I'll go get a Duraspark.

 

It's BIG, It's UGLY, It's HUGE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it's got one less wire than a Pertronix module in the points distributor.

 

Thanks!

 

Did we mention they are big and ugly?

 

Ive got one for my new motor, and yes its big and ugly. I havent even fired the motor yet and im considering getting rid of it. I might just get it running with it and go from their.

 

But, but, it's only got one wire to hookup??????????

 

I have one I need to get rid of..has less than 20miles on it. It is an MSD.

 

And let's not forget they're made in China and the devil kills a puppy - an AMERICAN puppy - every time you buy one, let's go ahead and get that out of the way... But they run just fine.

 

Hmmm guilty consience....you sound like my 3 year old, having to defend herself before I even find out what she did wrong

 

I have read of one guy on another forum that had one just fall apart while the engine was running, don't know the specific brand but he said it was a cheap one off ebay.

And they're still big and ugly. :bananaman

 

And they still run really good.

 

Theyre big and ugly but its a good distributor,ive seen alot of people run HEI on Ford engines,puts out a good HOT spark
