1969 Tbird new distributor

[Alaskan bird]

The best thing I did for my stock engine was change to a HEI dist. Made all the difference in the world, no more falling on its face . more power, just runs better all around,

anybody know how an HEI distributor compares to a pertronix ignitor and coil setup?

Runs nice now. But this thing looks biiiiig

What does BIIIIIG mean?

Means it's big, red, and dominates the engine compartment

Actually it fits under the hood rather fine. The only issue was a small section of the underskin that touched the top of the distributor. Nothing a cut-off wheel couldn't fix. Later I plan on smoothing it out so it looks a bit cleaner.

It's so nice now. She fires right up! Much better than that antiquated points distributor. The wires and coil too.
