Re: [Chevelle-List] HEI conversion for 67 Chevelle Malibu

Oh yeah, depending on the air cleaner you're using currently, you might find that you need to replace it to avoid a clearance problem with a typical large-body HEI.  My 14" drop-base fits, but just barely.   BTW, here's another decent link:  http://rmcavoy.freeshell.org/HEI.html ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Bruyn To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 10, 2003 1:44 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] HEI conversion for 67 Chevelle Malibu You need a distributor, a piece of 12 ga. wire, and plug wires.  Don't forget to regap your plugs.   http://www.boyleworks.com/ta400/psp/HEIconversion.html http://www.oldengine.org/unfaq/hei.htm     FWIW, I got a free GM unit from a friend of mine, but Dave (Dave's Smallbody HEIs) knows his stuff.  I plan to send him my old points unit for conversion in the future.   Enjoy,   Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: Clint Hooper To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 10, 2003 12:46 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] HEI conversion for 67 Chevelle Malibu Ever checked this site out? http://www.davessmallbodyheis.com/ Clint Hooper LT5 Registry Director '91 ZR-1 Callaway Aerobody http://www.LT5Registry.net/ '69 El Camino ProTourer  ACES #1650 http://dalesplace.com/misc/friends/clint_hooper.htm '99 Honda F6 Valkyrie custom for sale ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken's Email   I have decided to go with an HEI conversion from the current points set up. I am running a 383 stroker. Please advise on all parts I need for this conversion. I am not worried about "correct" distributor appearance and prefer the GM HEI or other HEI over the Petronix from what I read here. Any other comments appreciated. Thanks, Ken McDee
