Title: New parts ordered!
Post by: 76k104x4 on July 11, 2014, 05:44:49 pm

After getting my new headers installed the factory plug wires touch the header tubes on my 454. Also I figured it's about time to replace the distributor too so I ordered a distributor, HEI corrected cap, jegs 8.5 cut to fit wires with multi angle boots, plug wire boot heat shields, Moroso wire looms, and a Moroso recurve kit. I can't wait for parts to start showing up. Any suggestions about install?

     If you are talking distributor, find TDC, make sure your rotor is pointed at #1 cylinder and remove, re-install as you removed.

Thanks Bake. Does anyone have any experience with putting in the recurve kit or suggestions on it?

This is one thing I have read Truck not running right after a recurve kit. (http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php?topic=21463.msg176299#msg176299)
