In 1975 GM changed over to HEI distributors. In 1980 they started to transition to commuter control.
The HEI is totally self contained meaning it has the electronics and the coil inside.
They are larger in diameter so check for firewall clearance.
Run a new #14 wire from the ignition to the dist.
Disconnect the yellow wire from the starter solenoid.
The HEI only requires a 12 volt source.
Summit, Jegs or GM performance parts are sources.
