Default 1962 HEI Distributor fit

Will a full size hei fit fine or should I use a small body? Am I correct in assuming 1962 389 is the same as later years ?

I'm sure there are members with more knowledge than me but I know for a fact that a regular HEI would not clear an EP4B intake on my 64 389. I'm assuming a stock intake would be the same.

GM HEI will be a problem with tri-power. But there are some aftermarket small body units available.

that, and the Small body looks better and uses a proper coil.
