Instead of swapping in a conversion to my original RA III distributor, I am going to have Dave do one of his small-body HEI conversions on a ‘70 455 distributor that’s been on my shelf for years. Will keep the group updated on that progress.
On a related note, I am likely to change the cam this winter. Would you do both at same time, or would you get engine running with new cam and old distributor first? I remember reading something somewhere that when firing up a new engine for the first time it was always good to use a known carb and distributor so it started right away.
