Just wondering what you Pontiac fans are runnin these days? I have the original 370 in my 58 Starchief I'm slowly attempting to get road worthy and I was just curious if there's any HEI dizzys available for the odd GM motors? I looked @ Summit and it "seems" like their blueprint HEI would work fine...since they've listen them as 1955 & up. But then I looked @ the details and alas there is no 370 in the line up of applications. I hear so many damn mixed opinions on the Pertronix, I'm just not sold on em yet and replacement HEI parts are available everywhere., they have a better track record as far as reliability goes..etc etc.... So what do you all suggest? And please don't tell me to ditch the 370...cause I aint doin it!
Distributors for Pontiac engines will interchange physically from 1955-1981. This includes 287-316-347-370-389-400-421-428-455.
My cousin is a machinist. He slices the dist. in half and tigs on a HEI top half. I've seen him build HEI distrbuters for LA Mopars, Oliver tractors, etc... All he needs to know is the firing order.
WOW! FANTASTIC! Simple as that! What a relief!! I had some notion that I'd have to pay some freakish dude in the land of the hobbits, to travel far and wide to a secret un named location , where the locals only speak in a strange language that sounds like yiddish and welsh all at the same time, to find this magic solution Thanks again everyone. I'll dial up Summit again and do me some ordin.
