Another quick note. A good distributer is readily available for the 153/181. The big cap HEI from the 77-78 151 is a direct bolt-in. These were in 77-78 Chev Monza, Pontiac Sunbird, etc. A-1 Cardone part # is 301490. Hope this helps those having problems finding a decent ignition system.


Here's Jim's post. And here's a Mallory on eBay.


The Mallorys look like the best bet, I just got a HEI and the head is huge Dont think there is going to be enough clearance for the Distributor head against the engine on my 1972 l4 153 front mount Distributor location...Ps I have a 2bbl rochester 1972 carb that needs rebuilt anyone on here do it for a fair price?
