1971 Chevrolet Nova - Project SuperNova, Part II
A stock GM HEI distributor just won’t fit without major hammer clearancing in second-gen Novas. We opted for MSD’s Ready-to-Run HEI replacement kit, which includes a billet distributor with integral module and vacuum advance and a Blaster 2 coil ($299.95 at Summit). It is pricier than an HEI, but it offers a stronger spark and a very easily tunable timing curve, and the quality and trick looks don’t hurt. MSD’s new HEI Tower cap now comes standard on all its billet distributors, replacing the older points-type wire sockets for better boot retention on the cap. We used a set of MSD’s universal cut-to-fit wires. View Related Article
