How to upgrade points to HEI system within my 71 impala?

How do I upgrade my points system in my 71 impala to HEI system? Do I just capture a new HEI distributor? Do I need a MSD electronic ignition? HELP?

How much would it cost to hold...


How recurrently should I make a payment...


All you should have need of is an HEI distributor. The ignition coil is in the distributor cap on those. Stick the untried distributor in and connect any vacuum hoses you have. The old-fashioned power wire going to your old coil will want the resistor removed and connected to the HEI distributor so you get full battery voltage to it.

Gas prices?



Answers:    you can budge to the junkyard and buy a complete HEI distriburator and all you have to do is embezzle the old one out and drop the new one contained by, make sure you get the plug bring to a close that comes with the distriburator as you need it to plug your wires contained by and the hot wire that now go to your old distriburator is no longer used as you have to run a up to date hot wire to your fusebox where the circuit is hot when you turn the knob on and basically thats all here is to it, also the coil is inside the distriburator on the HEI so you can eliminate your old coil on the engine.
