Chev dizzy upgrade

Post by Kev80 »

I have the old twin point dizzy on my Chev 350 & was thinking about replacing it with a newer electronic type but i dont know much about whats available & where to get them.

Just after a basic (cheap) one without all the extra race ignition etc.

What do you guys use & were to buy from ?

Might go & have a look at a HEI.

Did you notice any difference in revs/ power after installing one, is it worth it ?

ive got a vn 5 litre dissy on mine, (at least thats what the cap and rotor are from) just runs the sensor to an ICE ignition module. I didn't put it there so i don't know if its a straight swap though.

I recently read on another forum where someone asked what the $250 Procomp HEI ones are like and not one positive response. I'd get a better brand HEI though.
