To the OP: FWIW, I recall a buddy of mine with a '68 Camaro small block. He tried to put an HEI distributor in his, and the firewall modifications (via ballpeen hammer) still didn't make it clear. I'm assuming the '69 firewall is similar to a '68, and a bigblock would only make things worse.

Just my speculation.

Acording to the dimensions in the Chevy Power book, the dimension from the bellhousing mount face to the distributor center line, a SBC=2.18" and BBC=2.20". Sounds like a problem for both.

Thanks for the replies, it won't fit without some major fine tuning of the firewall with an 8 pound "persuader"! Found a shop in Nevada that transforms the stock points style distributor into an HEI style unit with external coil.

Is that what the Pertronix product does?

Years ago there was an adaptation of the Chrysler SS ign setup to the GM dizzy, I think it used the GM points too, if memory serves.....

I dunno if it's any advantage....
