For value-conscious enthusiasts, the Street Fire HEI is a great choice. We know the importance of a centrifugal advance in a distributor so our engineers made sure that the Street Fire received an advance assembly with coated weights and welded weight pins (not just pressed in like other models). Another area that you cannot afford to scrimp on is with a distributor gear. The Street Fire is fit with the same gear that is used on our Pro-Billet models. The metallurgy of this gear has been refined for years to perform through the harshest conditions. Inside, the ignition module and coil work together to produce a stout spark to light the fuel mixture for great performance. The high voltage is transferred through a new rotor to the brass terminals of the distributor cap and out to the plugs. The Street Fire Distributor is the first product to come from our new value branded ignition line.

Features:

Red distributor cap with brass terminals
Adjustable Centrifugal Mechanical Advance (Kit sold separately PN 8428 )
Welded weight Pins
Supplied with internal coil and dependable 4-Pin Module
Vacuum Advance for fuel economy
Supplied vacuum advance stop plate to limit amount of vacuum advance
Heavy Duty distributor gear for durability

Be sure you have sufficient firewall clearance. This unit is one full inch wider in diameter, and approximately one and a half inches taller compared to a point style distributor. If your car came equipped with an HEI unit, then you will not have a problem at all. The firewall tunnel on many point style distributor equipped GM vehicles may allow space for the HEI unit, but be sure before purchasing. For those that find this unit may not work, we have a small base ready to run HEI unit. It has a base and cap the size of an original point distributor, but requires an external coil. These are called, "Ready to Run or Small Base HEI Distributors." See our other listings for a full variety of distributors.

FITS ALL BIG BLOCK AND SMALL BLOCK CHEVY ENGINES THAT ARE CARBURETED,

(WILL NOT FIT 350 366 OR 427 INDUSTRIAL LARGE TRUCK OR BUS ENGINES.)

This is the last distributor you will ever have to buy!

WE ARE THE NO.1 WHOLESALE MARKETERS OF HEI DISTRIBUTORS IN THE COUNTRY.

THIS UNIT WILL FIT MOST ANY CARBURETED V-8 CHEVY ENGINE MADE EXCEPT COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL 427 and 366 ENGINES. YOU CAN REPLACE YOUR POINT STYLE DISTRIBUTOR WITH THIS. THE DIFFERENCE IN PERFORMANCE IS DRAMATIC TO SAY THE LEAST.

THIS HEI FITS MOST SMALL AND BIG BLOCK CHEVY ENGINES FROM 55 UP TO 86. BB & SB!!!

Will also fit later V-8 engines that have converted to carburetor.

Our company president, Skip W. strongly recommends the universal 90 degree wires, as they will fit perfect. Those that were running a point system often used 7mm plug wires, and this is not sufficient to carry the high voltage produced by the HEI unit. It is recommended that you use 8mm or larger plug wires. See our other listings for many needed accessories.

This distributor will fit most all Chevy V-8 carbureted engines with a four pin module. It will fit earlier model engines equipped with point style distributors. Fire wall clearance may be an issue on some early model cars, but we have found many to fit with good clearance.

The perfect upgrade for your vehicle, or just as part of a tune-up. Here are a few problems you are likely to encounter when using an old distributor.

excessive end shaft play
bushing wear
weak coil
work or cracked cap and button
weak module
corrosion build-up
weakened advance springs
gear wear
