changing from points to electronic???
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cg...697479&r=0&t=0
I just bought the distributor and am going to swap out the HEI. I like the HEI but I have run into a few problems.
1. No vacuum hookups for the advance with the predator carb.
2. No mechanical tach.
What would it take to convert a dual points accel tach to electronic and keep it mechanical advance and mechanical tach??? I am building up a big collection of parts in this project........

I've got these

on my car, but it was put into a single point distributor.. Pretty easy overall swap, works really well so far. and I used the stock distributor with it (single point, mechanical advance, with tach drive) so I retained my tach.

Pertronix makes a conversion for Accel dual point distributors. Jegs has them. A least they did when I was considering the swap. I've heard so much negative feedback about their product I decided to keep the points.. :cheers:
