[Diy_efi] New User - Chev TBI Conversion quest

[Shannen at grolen.com]

DI>Will the distributor off the 4.3 fit the straight six?  That may be the
DI>greatest obstacle.

Use a distributor from a 78 vintage straight six, lock the mechanical
advance, lock the vacuum advance, remove the factory module and install
a module from a 4.3L.

There are other solutions discussed in the archives.
