Re: [Amc-list] GEN I HEI

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

There might be a base that's close, you have Buick, Pontiac, Cadillac, etc. to choose from, but I don't know of any that would drop right in. I've got Datsun's books, but don't recall anything about converting an HEI for the GEN-1 AMC V-8. The books aren't indexed/organized in any searchable way, but I just looked through the GEN-1 V-8 book and found nothing about ignition at all. 

How different is the distributor body from the GEN-2/3 V-8? If the later AMC V-8 distributor will fit you could go the TFI route using a late model AMC Motorcraft distro...

OK, I know I can go with a Petronix but I really like the idea of finding
an HEI setup for my 66 Ambo with the 327.  I can not seem to find any
crossover like the 250 truck engine for the 6 bangers.  Anybody know of
an HEI base that can be readily adapted to the GEN I motors?
