Engine
Group Distributor
and HEI CONSIDERATIONS
Within
engine familys the distributor clearance could change marginally
(providing more distributor clearance) depending on where the carburetor
mounting pad is set (fore and aft) in relation to other intake
manifolds for that same engine engine.
SMALL
BLOCK CHEVY ENGINES
The STREETINDUCTION wont clear an HEI GM electronic ignition unless you cut
into the back of the STREETINDUCTION base for clearance, you would need to
put a smaller diameter distributor in like a Mallory or Accel, or a Standard
early Chevy points type distributor will fit and you can also get that design
as a simple drop in quality replacement electronic ' Pro Billet' distributor
from MSD Part No 8360.
If
absolutely necessary you can cut the back of the IN600STREETINDUCTION
body for HEI clearance if you want to or 'have money' in your distributor,
this has been done succesfully but it takes fabricating skills
and its just a lot easier to fit a smaller distributor in.
BIG
BLOCK CHEVY ENGINES
Generally Speaking the IN600 STREETINDUCTION will fit Big Block Chevy's with
an HEI
