Clearance issues with HEI distributor
I have a 69 that I plan on putting a GM350 crate engine into. The engine comes with a HEI distributor but I have been told that it will hit the firewall. Has anyone else had this problem? Any work arounds? Thanks.

RE: Clearance issues with HEI distributor
If your car has points in it now you will need to bypass the resistor wire .The Camaro resistor wire is a white braded looking resistance wire in the harness. The easy way is to run a new wire from the fuse block inside, come off the "ign" terminal and run to the coil power terminal. I put h.e.i. in mid 90's, and still regret bashing in fire wall with 5 pound sledge hammer, i'm goin to fix mine and installstock looking electronic distributor. Its your choice.
