I have a couple gm hei distributors laying around and was wondering where to buy everything for the conversion...especially...drive gear, distributor cap, vacuum advance etc... Does someone sell a kit?

Thanks,
~~TIM~~

Also....can you use the same advance as the stcok gm distributor?

Tim,

No kit as far as I know..

Drive gear from 4wd Hardware or your local junk yard (same gear as off a 304 v8)
(4wd part #3208615 $25.00)

Distributor cap local parts store or junk yard

Vacumm advance (adjustable) Jegs $23.00

Good Luck

That which does not kill me only makes me stronger (or dumber).

One more part, if you wish to 'remote' the coil (and, assuming you have the HEI with the coil in the cap).....
The MSD 'dust-cover', part number MSD-8401, about $25 at Summit (or MSD, or JEG's, or ?)
BTW, this part is nothing but a stock dust-cover, with a MSD 'home-made' coil-wire adapter. I spent the money, and bought the part. But, now that I have seen it, I believe I could do it better, myself.
In my opinion, the adjustable vacuum advance is a personal-choice 'thing'. For me, the stock vacuum advance works fine.
I have bought my gears from 4WD Hardware, as the post suggested. But, I have found that PM sells the gears for a little better price, especially when you factor in the shipping.
