Is this the same one you got airspeed?


Are you pretty happy with it so far? I'm hoping the power will be a noticeable difference from the stock 175HP, certainly it will be.

I too am interested in this no vacuum advance thing....I was thinking i'd be using the vacuum advance like on my current stock engine....I was thinking of going to HEI, so I guess I should?

Right now I'm running a stock distributor with the pertronix ignitor points eliminating setup.....was going to buy the pertronix ignitor distributor originally but my mechanic told me to go HEI......I'm still learning so I will probably listen to him and yall LOL......
Get this one, comes with HEI, dual pattern intake/gaskets and dampener.

You will have enough money left over for fancy valve covers, gaskets, roller timing chain, etc. And you will have a better, more powerful engine.
