Default 1972 Camaro Distributor ?

Has anyone replaced/upgraded thier distributor. I wanted to install an HEI but it will not fit due to clearance issues with air cleaner and firewall and I'm not cutting the firewall. What have you guys used?

Thumbs up Re: 1972 Camaro Distributor ?

I have a 73 Z28 and I have 2 different distributors… An old electronic Accel and a original 73 (for an auto / 350) that is gutted and stuffed with the Pertronix electronics. I don’t like the big HEI stuff either.
I sure like this new forum … It rocks!!!!

Gut out the old one and replace the points with a Crane pointless system. It only takes about 15 minutes and it will perform the same or much better than HEI. I can say, I`m running a 502 CI in my `69 Camaro with no regrets.
