Wallowing thru all the jargon here, :cuss I'm one of them newbie's who has an interest in the possibility of installing an HEI system. It's such a bummer the show cars offering doesn't support 3X2's. :cry (at least not without any modifications to the distributer or my intake either of which I have no interest in)
That understood, I guess my best alternative is to get my existing distributer converted to get that solid spark and preserve it's vintage appearance. Yes?
If so, who's the best to do such a task? :dunno Thanks

SS409HP, Awesome! I did a google search on his email monikor before and found the site...
Dond409, Thanks for posting the link in case others are looking to do the same.

Exactly what I'm looking for. :D
Can't say I completely follow the differences between his offerings, but it looks like I'm a candidate for the MSD trigger conversion. I know more after I get his reply to my message.
Either way, this is the way I'm going to go.
Thanks Gentlemen. :bow

hei

Dave will set up the advance curve for your combination. And also set the vacuum advance to you car. He is very good at what he does. You will be very satisfied with his product.

Dave`s standard HEI set-up (for lack of a better word) works as a stand alone, as in just wire it up and it works.
It even looks stock as all the HEI stuff is under a stock dist cap using a remote coil.
The MSD trigger unit needs the MSD unit .
That is what I`m using with the MSD 6AL.

Either way you will get a great unit !! ,dq

I hate to burst anyone's bubble but I called Dave a few weeks ago. He was kind and informative but he ABSOLUELY would have nothing to do with touching another 409 distributor. He claimed that he had been accused of using this web site for his own personal gain and didn't want people thinking that was his motive. He was more than willing to tell me anything I wanted to know about my options and would be glad to assist me over the phone but refused to touch my distributor. :dunno

Dave refused to work on my dist also, because I was a member of this site. I went with the Pertronix conversion.:scratch

that's the way to go

Crane also offer a solid state conversion. As long as bushings and shaft are good, should have no problems.

I guess Ignitionman is a man of his word. He said, actually he ranted that he would have nothing to do with any of our members again. I have noticed his name as being -logged in - many times since then. If he dislikes us so much, what is his interest in our web-site? :dunno

Interesting that he takes the time to log in all the time but wants nothing to do with the people on this site. I thought maybe he had an interest in the 409 but looking through his post you see nothing where he talked about the 409, any engine discussion was to do with Pontiacs. I couldn't see where anyone accused him of using the site for personal gain but do see that his personal page advertises that he is an "ignition system manufacture"? I'm sure there must be other people out there do the same thing and hopefully one of you that wants a electonic ignition will run accross them.
