HEI Distributor
« on: April 27, 2004, 11:13:00 AM »
I am rebuilding my 454 out of 78 Suburban.  I went with a Weiland dual plane intake, Road Demon Jr 725 cfm, Comp Cams Extreme 4x4 11-231-3 (254/262 duration, 210/218 @ .050, valve lift 505/505, lobe sep 111 degrees), flat top forged pistons (8.9:1 compression), bored .030 over.  The engine is still at the machine shop, so nothing is running yet.  My question is, do I need to rebuild, replace, adjust my stock Delco HEI distributor?  Is it worth the money to buy a new one, buy a kit to replace the top portion, or anything else I have not considered?  Again thanks for the help you've all given me thus far in this project, As soon as I get it all back together and running, I'll post with how everything is working.  Thanks again.

Cheers,
Jack

buy an MSD unit............all new parts, ball bearings as well. Well worth the money in my book.
