GM HEI Distributor BreakdownChevy Hardcore - Clearing the confusion about the hEI distributor shortcomingsSpeedway Motors "The Toolbox" - What is an HEI distributor...You can find lots more through a simple web browser search. I used the search terms "An introduction to GM HEI distributors" and these are just the top 3 found amongst many. If you want to expand your "electronic ignition systems" information range, be more generic in your search terms. Happy viewing/reading.
