HEI conversion 250 distributor gear problem

['68OrangeSunshine]

Well, yeah, I knew the difference between 6 and 8 cylinders. I was hoping there was a parallel unit for V8s. I'll look up MSD. They merged recently with Mallory who are all owned by Mr Gasket, including Accel. I looked at the MSD Blaster HEI coil at O'Reilly's.
They wanted $82 for a Chicom coil.
I wonder why the low cap clocks differently than the coil-in cap? If you snap the #1 plug wire on the first terminal closest to Cyl #1, and follow 1-5-3-6-2-4 clockwise with the successive plugwires, isn't the effect the same? Or does that put the Vac Can out of position? So you are saying the Coil-in-cap base is different and incompatible with the lowboy external coil cap?
Or is it that the V8 cap has a different index notch than the L6 caps? Might make more sense.
Do they use the same HEI caps for L6s and V6s? The base would be different from the 'Late' L6 since the 231 V6 is a cut down 3/4 of the SBC. GMC big V6s likely have an even different distributor configuration. Who knows?
