Some of the suppliers have them. The easiest way is to put a Petronics changover in you present dist. & go with a higher output coil.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

I put a Mallory Unit on my 250. It has the remote coil to greatly reduce the overall size of the unit. Sits further down also. I needed the smaller unit as my a/c compressor shares the same area.

for cheap and quality, and ease of maintainance, go with a HEI. I put one on my GMC 305ev6, and it runs so well, olmost like a different motor.
