[67HEAVEN]

Are these the appropriate MSD pieces to replace the factory TI while maintaining mechancial tach drive and adding rev limiter?

6420 ($149,88) is the box I need also. I have a 6A or MSD-6200. The only difference is the rev limiter. The dist. number is MSD- 8571 ($279).

Why did you select the 8571 (no vacuum advance) over the 8572?

Sorry Heaven, wrong number. I did use the 8572. Also Taylor makes a nice set of 8mm wires that work well.

Bob I purchased mine a few years ago and it is the one with the vacum advance unit.My distributor cap is different from the model you have chose mine was more like a conventunal cap with female receptacles instead of male.When I purchased my chips for the box I chose to go a couple a hundred rpm under my max rpm in case it allowed the motor spool past the rpm target.

Example 6300 set point I am running a 6100 rpm chip.

It pretty cheap insurance.

I had mentioned in another post about bouncing it off the chip.

Just keep your foot to floor and side step the clutch and ram that shifter into a gear.

I just had the 66 out for a spin a couple of weeks ago and I am shocked any time I get back into the seat of that car for a spirited drive after not driving for a while.

Dont know when the last time you were behind the wheel of a car with a High Hourse power bigblock in it.But boy are you in for a SUPRIZE.

My box is hidden down on passenger side of engine bay.Painted black and I actually change the chip by putting my fingers in through the gill

Bob, if you get one don't run it through the ballast resistor. The MSD requires constant voltage over 12 volts. FYI

Good advice. Thanks.

The last time was when I dropped a rod on the track at Shannonville about 18 years ago.

Yeah, I know....gotta learn to drive all over again.

I'll never forget the first time I let the hammer down on 67HEAVEN, back in 1967, on those 7.75-15 bias plies. It was just a little ol' 435 then. Lord have mercy!!!! :eek :crazy

The engine got progressively stronger and less reliable as the years and the fiddlin' went by.

One thing for sure, though. Those new tires weren't new for long.

I used the #8572 distributor also along with the #6200 "6A" ignition module, #8252 coil and the #7445 Pro-Cap. Don't forget, with the steel roller cam in the 502, to check for the hardened (GM calls them "mellonized") distributor gear. I don't know if the newer MSD distributor comes with one or not. At the time I got mine they didn't and we reamed out the HEI gear (which is .491" diameter) to the .500" used on the MSD shaft. By now you should be able to get one separately either from MSD or JEGS.

the orignal TI distributor will fire the MSD box if you want to look more orignal.
