Greetings.
I am looking into swapping out an Excel Dual Point ignition for an electronic ignition. Has anyone done this, and what is a good choice of distributor to make the swap.
350, .030 over, 650 holley DBL pump, mechanical fuel pump, hydraulic lifters, medium cam, 4 speed.
I would really appreciate any input on what the right direction would be.
Thanks, Tim

Tim,

Accell distributors are better replaced, you're right...

Factory HEI is excellent for engines that don't rev past 6,200 RPM. With the hydraulic cam, I would go that route. There are several good HEI suppliers around. Do a search on "HEI" or "High Energy Ignition".

Aside from that, MSD is the best out there today.

Jim, Thanks for the advise. I appreciate it..

only issue i had putting an hei into my 72 was clearence, the cap is really fat and the firewall gets in the way. just "massage" it a little:evillol: and your good. but its really easy, one positive wire and a tach wire and your good to go make sure the positive is getting 12volts though or it wont run.
