    Thats what I got in mine.
     
  4. The distributor itself is the same as the SBC, the drive end may be different.
    Have a look at the HEI for a SBC and compare the gear ends.

    The base of the distibutor is totally different as is the drive gear, you can have a sbc HEI modified to fit a caddy. A good machinist can do this. Thats what I did with the mallory I had.
     
  6. what would be the price of something like that?

    Mason Ignition in Schwenksville, Pa. He builds all my HEI Distributors and Magneto's. HEI for the 390 would be a piece a cake for him to make you
