New Hei Distributor installed.

Figured i would show off the new distributor.....
also trying to figure out which connector on my carb is for for the vaccum advance...
Also trying to decide if i should gut the wiring harness or just leave it how i have it up around the brake booster...
This engine needs some good degreasing as well. im in the process of getting a new valve cover and gasket probably end up replacing the intake/exhaust gasket before too long already have the efi manifolds with the down pipes.

oh and zoom to look at that EGR valve is got like a 2 inch hole in it. this truck cost me 400 bucks so its a work in progress.


Hei Distributor

For the distributor vacuum source, find a carburetor port with no vacuum @ idle speeds. There should be vacuum as the throttle plate is opened.

Found it now its running perfectly well sorta i need to dig into the carb for a good cleaning and rebuild... the carb came off a 81 and from Jalopy Jungle kinda like a pick a part.. can tell from the paint marker. then need to block off the egr.and do the intake exhaust gasket set.
