It won't fit if you plan on running a tripower.

Not trying to steal the thread, but have a 428 w/HEI in my '66 GTO.
Am going to hve tri-power installed when I get back to Florida.
What would be the best "standard" size HEI distributor to replace the current one?

Currently has an Edelbrock 4-bbl on a "Torker" intake, with the "HEI" distributor.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Standard issue HEI won’t fit with tri-power, you’ll need to either use a modern small body HEI or Ready to Run distributor or a points distributor.

Another option is the conversion system from M&H wiring. I converted my stock points distributor several years ago and have not had a problem. I also installed the voltage regulator conversion from the same dealer with no problem.
