I will be changing the ignition system in my 71 L48 to an HEI system. My question is I have a rebuilt tach drive distributor converted to hei using a crane XR-I system and also have a Mallory Tach drive unilite mechanical advance.
Which distributor would be the best to use, I am also going to install a 327/350 HP cam, LT1 manifold, and a holley 3310.
Thanks

Your original tach drive distributor with vacuum advance is likely the better choice, but depending on the vacuum situation with a cam swap, you may want to change out the can for one that acts at lower vacuum.

When asked, Lars recommended I use this one on my 69 350-350. Jeg's number 121-8572. He also recommended using the MSD spark box in the system.
