Hi Rick, Thanks for getting back to me on the Gen I distributor for AMC V8's ... and for looking into this for us. Have a great weekend!

Perhaps he might be able to take a Gen I factory distributor and measure it to modify another GM-type distributor. FYI, the GEN I AMC/Rambler distributor is on the back of the engine, like a Chevy. NOTE TO RICK: Would it be possible to review the AMC 250-287-327 Gen I distributor to see if another GM HEI could be modified to fit?

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... --------------- Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2008 16:17:09 -0400 From: Wayne E LaMothe 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? -- Frank Swygert Publisher, "American Motors Cars" Magazine (AMC) For all AMC enthusiasts http://farna.home.att.net/AMC.html (free download available!) _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://splatter.wps.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/amc-list --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals?
