I asked this before but cant find it, how and what do I do to change a 1968 327 over to Electronic Ignition?

Just get one out of a 350 and put it in? or what?


And is this a good or bad thing to do?

the chevy HEI is a drop in and very much an improvement. Just ck the pins that the weights go on if you are going to buy a used on. They get worn with age.

Wiring is a simple one wire, 12 volts from the ign switch. Ck your existing wire for a true 12+ volts as some used a reduced voltage coil on the points type distributor.

Stupid ? I guess

Do I just go to the junkyard get what year HEI?

I dont use the coil on the car now with the HEI do I?

Just find one with a vacuum advance canister and you will be fine. No don't use the coil in the car. You should be able to get a complete HEI from the junkyard.

If the HEI is going into a '68 Impala (or full size Chevy) this should not be a problem. In other applications, there might not be enough room because of the firewall being too close. In that case, some "creative" firewall restructuring will be necessary. Trust me, I know!
