I've always had mostly Fords so I've never messed with Chevrolets much, but today I finished putting a used 350 in my '67 C-60. At some point or another it was converted to HEI and the cap is not marked with the location of the #1 cylinder. Which post on the cap is for the #1 wire?

The diagram assumes the the distributer was indexed correctly during the conversion, just put the #1 cylinder at TDC on the compression stroke and the post that the rotor is pointing to is #1.

^^that's a standard sbc diagram. hei has the same order/pattern, but the number 1 terminal will be about where the number 2 is on that diagram (assuming the distributor is oriented at the correct 10-12btdc).

check the cap a little closer. a lot of them will have some sort of identifying mark (dot, etc.) for the number 1 terminal.

^ exactly, on the crab style cap, with them terminals perpendicular to the engine, #2 in that diagram is #1, with a normal cap, could be anywhere

yea best way is to find tdc on #1 and see where distributor is.. but that was the first diagram i could find

I just got it running. I've still got to put a light on it to get it timed right and adjust the carburetor and clutch, but it seems to be running pretty decent.

the truck is running good, but I need a center dump exhaust manifold for it. I need the passenger side one without the alternator bracket. anybody got one they want to sell?

good luck finding a decent one, they crack like all holy hell, but nearly all dump trucks, school buses, etc had em, hit up some junkyards

pretty sure my corvette has them also (c4).

there's a few places around here I can look, but I may have to buy a new one on ebay. it looks like I'm going to have to start hauling logs with it pretty soon.

7/29/2007 11:50:51 AM

purple hornies haven't seen them in forever haha

7/29/2007 12:28:43 PM

I thought about that. I've got an old set of headers laying around here somewhere.
