"Normal" HEI distributor instead of "Electronic Spark Control"??
Hello everyone!
I have got a question that nobody can/will answer overhere (they don't know in Holland...)
The car is a G20 from 1981 with a carbureted 305 V8 and "Electronic Spark Control".
I want this complete stock distributor exchanged with a "normal" HEI distributor with mechanical and vacuum advance unit.
Is this possible?
The HEI distributor only works with + and - connector and vacuumhose, while the stock one has an extra 4-pole connector for the "spark" modul.
Are the measurements of these components the same for all Chevy smallblocks, so that I can exchange the two with no problem??
Or will I have to change something at the wiring too?
Thus, put the HEI in, connect + and-, hook up the vacuumhose, set up the timing and of we go? Is this possible???
Please let me know..
Thanks,
Kees

I had an old jeep switched over to HEI, and that is all that was necessary... along with the parts. I have no idea if a chevy is different or not.
I used an HEI kit specifically for the jeep engine.

If I use a HEI kit specifically for my engine then again they try to sell me one with "Electronic Spark Control"
I want to know if the normal HEI the same measurements has as the one thats in it.
Nobody can tell me that...
What about the Chevy specialists here on board??
