HEI Conversion
 

I am new to the 351E V6 world.. Thought I had plenty of knowledge on motors... but evidently not when I came across my newly purchased 1967 GMC Camper Cruiser with a 351E V6.

I am wanting to change to HEI... I read info on website, but need to get the drawings by Edwin Erlbacher. I have donated to site and also tried to leave an email about wanting this info. If anyone can let me know how to get these drawings... I would greatly appreciate it.

lots of guys have changed to HEI using (I think) a buick distributor from the 70s that is a direct drop-in or a Petronix adapter. I haven't done it (I'm too purist), but I hear it's easy peasy. MelMashman did this and a bunch of other members. Here's a thread about it

Oh, and TJ had a thread mentioning it too. He's real easygoing. He'll probably reply if you PM him.

I believe Rod is the guy who makes the sleeves/bushings for this upgrade; here is another link. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for the info... but Rod is currently out of the Spacers.... so I am trying to locate drawings etc.... .

My ultimate plan is to make one for myself and have several others available already modified and ready to use.

I got this one. A bit pricey, but ready to go.

Hi Archie! Got yer PM and PM'd ya back. lol

As mentioned, looks like the conversion your doing is the buick v6 mod. I personally know nothing about it. The pertronix took me 5 minutes to do so I did it. haha

Thanks for all the responses.... great help..

I ended up ordering the one that Kchampagne gave me a link to. A little pricey, but it is already done and I don't need to spend time that my wife says I don't have.....

:lolsmack2: Priorities get mixed up when you get a girl involved. You gotta learn to rub her back with one hand and turn a wrench with another. It's the ol' "hug and roll" move!
