Also use a NOS Delco module and use the special heat dissipating grease on the bottom of the module. 1975 Chevy 350 pole piece is 1875981 D1907. The module is 1875990.
Thanks for good info. I did source a NORS Standard pickup coil and have a store of USA made Echlin modules. I could use that module and will scrounge for one. The new HEI in the Blazer has been chronically problematic with warm starting. If I replace it with another HEI I want that to be solid since is just such a pita to get way back in there.
