I can give you a useful hint about that vacuum advance canister; the ones like that with the hex end are the adjustable ones. You can put a small allen wrench in through the vacuum nipple and adjust at what vacuum level the advance curve takes place. The round end vacuum canisters don't have the adjustment. BTW, since you said the seller was a racer, you might want to verify what advance springs he put inside... they may be a profound mismatch for what you want. Some racers even lock them out, since they're primarily concerned with the best advance for wide open throttle conditions.

Learning from my own mistakes is good, learning from yours would be much better! | | | Re: GM HEI for Ford 302 | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 3,601 Likes: 10 pooh-bah | OP pooh-bah Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 3,601 Likes: 10 | It's setup for street, they are right for what I want, can't wait to install it. I know all about the duraspark 2, just wanted an all together unit that is adjustable, I didn't want to buy a bunch of items and need to find locations to mount it all, clean and self contained is neater. | | | Re: GM HEI for Ford 302 | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 5,168 Vanaholic | Vanaholic Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 5,168 | Mark, that is same unit I was looking at for Court's mid from same guy.. can't wait to get it in as well.. | | | Re: GM HEI for Ford 302 | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 3,601 Likes: 10 pooh-bah | OP pooh-bah Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 3,601 Likes: 10 | I may try to go by his shop one day in the spring to see what all he does, can't beat a complete unit with wires for $75, just gotta be sure to get the lower unit stuck into it before installation. Court has a nice van, would love to see it up close one day. | | | Re: GM HEI for Ford 302 | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 3,601 Likes: 10 pooh-bah | OP pooh-bah Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 3,601 Likes: 10 | I've yet to do it, van's still in SC, I know the coil wire has to be replaced due to the resistor, this thing needs 12 volts, and I've not found a diagram to help find the thing either, I don't want to replace the entire wire. I'm slow at it.

Any photos of Courtney's? | | | Re: GM HEI for Ford 302 | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 12,107 Likes: 37 Maniac | Maniac Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 12,107 Likes: 37 | Just saying, this fits. That huge HEI head grafted onto a Ford distributor shaft is ugly, a bad idea, and unnecessary.
Windows- they're what make a van worth owning! | | | Re: GM HEI for Ford 302 | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 12,107 Likes: 37 Maniac | Maniac Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 12,107 Likes: 37 | HERE is a Duraspark distributor from a van that will work. Get a heat sink, heat sink compound, soldering supplies, and a relay for the (=) feed to the module, and you are in business.
