Every set I've ordered and looked at inn the books are wrong...most of then mount wrong...headache i believe due to it being an industrial hemi..no stamped numbers...also no tag.....that's why i was wondering if i could get a drop in unit for the hemi Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Try a mopar electronic ignition. Need a longer distributer shaft from hot heads but that works great. Davis makes a hei style distributer but it's not cheap. Get a used mopar electronic a harness from Mancini racing and a orange box the make the shaft longer and you have liftoff Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
If it doesn't have vacuum adv it should be replaced anyway. You can use a longer int shaft or cut & lengthen the dizzy shaft on the LA dizzy, Mopar Performance sells a points to electronic kit with the orange box, ect.
That's right I made my intermediate shaft longer on my 315 dodge. It's been a few years. I run a mopar orange box with a firecore distributer that is just like the mopar one. I had a used one for a while the upgraded to a nicer unit last year Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Back yard engineering = he has the right shaft and base, just graft an HEI onto the top of it. Does he has access to a lathe and a drill press? (and maybe a welder)
You may want to check out the hemi index ( http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=118716&highlight=hemi+tech&page=4 ), thread no. 77. TR Waters is doing this with the pertronix distributor, which is a great idea. I tried it with the mopar la distributor and it works great.
new item that came out a little while ago for sb mopar and 325 poly/hemi . hei style just 2 wires and cheap. what a deal . On ebay . $44.00 ebay number 370809528293
No mention of what brand it is. Hot Heads has Unilite dizzys made for HH that'll fit low deck Chr & high deck Dodges(didn't mention DeSotos).
