I know this isn't firsthand experience, but, I was JUST talking to a guy who deals in those, and he said that all of the parts on top, including the cap, were directly compatible with Chevy parts.

so is there anything below the cap that can be used? i just swapped the cap and it ran the same as before, but id like to use any of the(this is the only time ill ever say this) GM Performance parts that i can. i dont really think much can be swapped because they rotate the opposite directions.

the reason i ask is because my exhaust pops and im trying to rule out the ignition, even though im pretty sure its a valve and ive got new heads going on anyway. i dont know much about this, but i hear the the coil pick-up can make it happen, but it only does it at idle.
