GM HEI

[Don.F.Broadus at ucm.com]

The even fire engines are actually semi even fire that fire
108-132-108-132-108-132 the crank pins are at 17 degrees
Instead of 30 degrees for a true even fire 60 degree V6 like the 2.8-3.1 L
engines. So you will have to stay with the inline
HEI pickup reluctor and star wheel. I listed the wrong module number last
time . I believe a 7 pin module is 9L08.

	As long as it is an even-fire V6, there should be no problem. If you
can
	mechanically graft a v6 dizzy to the inline engine, you are most of
the
	way there. Mabee better to go to a direct ignition *waste fire
