Re: New HEI
So, I got my new HEI distributor from Summit Racing. It was a nice one with 3 sets of springs and an adjustable vacuum advance. Cost was $228.00.
The one that came had a cracked cap. Ordered new cap under warranty. Got new cap and changed it out. Put it in. Spent hours trying to get it to run. Got it to start once for a few minutes. Then no more, no matter what I did. Then started looking close, the cap was crooked. Tried taking it back apart and reassembled. Still crooked. So called them. They sent another one. Put it in. Fired right up. Set timing as was suggested. Wow! The 402 is a monster again. I still need to try different springs and make some adjustments. But truck now has big block throaty roar. The points distributor and the cheap hei, did not sound or run like this. Left rubber on road without even trying. Feel good the truck is running again.
Thanks for the help, Jerry
