I got the parts ordered and a local machine shop is making up a new timing plate. It 3/32" thicker hopefully this won't mess up the pickups too much. Gave me a very reasonable price on the machining work.
I saw a post on SOHC about a guy who just hooked up the chevy coils without the HEI and says it works. Any thoughts on this approach?
Could you get me a link?
What kind of trigger is he using to fire the coils? Definitely not points, as they would very quickly melt... Or is it a DOHC ignition firing the Cav Coils?
I'd be really hesitant to try without first finding out what kind of dwell the ignition is producing. Much over 1.4ms of dwell will waste power and unnecessarily heat the coils and triggers.
