I bet you are Barb.
What motor did you have in there before?
Did you put some new springs in or are they the same?
I am not sure if you have this info already, but here is a site below.

Barb

would you consider putting your distributor and coil in a package and sending it to me to fix for you??? Even if you get the hei you would then have the points for a spare.

Jerry

kurt i had a 350 edelbrock putting out about 410 hp. they guy that i got the car from was sitting it up to race. when i put in the 472 there was not difference in the weight on the springs. jerry i would send you the old coil system but i threw it away when i cleaned the garage up from all the junk of the swap. wish now that i had kept it.

yep. i only paid 6 bucks for it. by the time i decided to change over to hei i was so pissed i threw it all out.

a $6.00 coil?????surely you jest!!!!!!

Would you like for me to get a dist for you?

yep 6 bucks for the coil. i have a distributor lined up just have to get the money in the bank. guy in ohio has one for $150. Is that high? it is a hei for a 74 caddy non efi.

hi barb this is a co. on craigslist los angles they have new hei for 80.00 no core or they can convert your to to hei there ph# is 626 960 5164 I would send you a link but that's above my capability....ted

Dang Louey; I'll let you know when I need something for my car. HE! HE! HE!
At them there prices I can almost afford to buy something.

Barb, I was surfin' on ebay and found this HEI. This is a re-listing, as he had no bids on it the first time around. You should be able to get this unit for under 50 bucks delivered to your door. Go to ebay and enter item # 300492543169.

Here's another one on ebay that says it was pulled from a 425 and will fit a 500. I'm uncertain whether or not that's true, but if it is, then you could own this one for less than 40 bucks delivered to your door. Go to ebay and enter item #160505800457.

thanks tech. that is a huge help

got the buy it now one. i hate waiting on bids for 5 days and run the risk of losing them both. thank you once again tech. you are a life saver.
