HEI conversion for 195.6 distributor

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I revived this thread (nt that old) googling the distributor to see what it's pulled from:
DELCO REMY 1110289 2J25

The last 4-character thing isn't the part number. 1110289 is 1963 to 1965 Rambler Classic, according to RockAuto.

I've got a Pertronix Ignitor II installed, I've always liked them, though others don't... well now that I have a Holley Sniper Autolite 1100 on the 195.6 OHV, the datalogger is showing sporadic misfires, they show up as lean (unburned fuel so oxygen present) in the log. My electrical is pretty clean to begin with, but I bought a Pertronix 1.5 ohm coil, added an explicit ground to the oddball distributor I have (the old style, that rotates the cap and wires with vacc advance), bought 7mm silicone wires, checked every connection, fed coil + from battery via relay, still misfires. The distributor bushings are tight. 

All that's left is the Pertronix module. Abou once a week I get a misfire I can feel. So this HEI converted distributor is going in. Disassembled it to clean and lube (50, 60 years, you can't leave to chance) and someone had done a good job, it's spotless and well lubed.

I'll install probably tomorrow or Sunday and see if it works.

	Also this guy does conversions, find the "gallery" and see his clean work. I haven't contacted him. https://www.davessmallbodyheis.com/ He's got approximate prices, seems like he's done a lot of this. Whoever converted this one did a very clean job, though in the photos it's all dirty from sitting in a box. It cleaned up nicely.
