More engine makeover progress
Well, after installing a vintage Offy intake with an oil fill tube and some finned valve covers my HEI looked out of place, so I decided to get a points distributor and do an electronic conversion from Pertronix. I like to scrounge for parts, swapmeets, junkyards, whatever. I have $16 in this stuff-
![]() Distributor from junkyard that had a new cap and rotor-$8 Coil from swapmeet-$2 Coil bracket from swapmeet-$1 Old (but new in box) set of Valley Forge plug wires from swapmeet-$4 Distibutor gasket from Checker-$1 The Pertronix kit did bust the budget though, at $80. I mounted the coil on the back of the driver's cylinder head to hide it a little for a cleaner look. ![]() I also got the chance to straighten up some wiring on the firewall. ![]() Here's the finished product, the coil isn't on in this pic, but you get the idea. Much better, this shouldn't keep me up at night anymore. lol ![]()
