How do you Convert HEI to Mopar

Never heard of anyone installing a GM distributor on a Mopar engine, if that is your thought. That is not what people refer to when they install HEI (various flavors).


I did many years ago. Took one of the old Corvette breakerless distributors with a tach drive and shortened it, had a machinist tang the shaft end and redo the shortened casting for a bushing. It sat into the bottom of a collar cut off the bottom of a junk Mopar dist machined to fit the GM distributor.

This was a Chev dist redone for a SB Mopar, as they both rotate CW

This was in the early seventies, and was used to trigger a Mopar ECU. This was before I knew about rotor phasing and it did not run well. I'm sure if I'd played with it some I'd have found the trouble. This was also before some of us realized you could adapt the HEI module.
