Our company president, Skip W. strongly recommends the universal 90 degree wires, as they will fit perfect. Those that were running a point system often used a 7mm wire, and this is not sufficient to carry the high voltage produced by the HEI unit. See our other listings for many needed accessories.
This distributor will fit all Chevy V-8 carburated engines up to 1986 . It will fit earlier model engines equipped with point style distributors. Fire wall clearance may be an issue on some early model cars, but we have found many to fit with good clearance.

This is the perfect upgrade for your classic Chevy, or just part of a tune-up. It would not be practical to re-install the original HEI back into your engine if you are overhauling it.
Here are a few problems you are most likely to encounter, when using an old distributor.
excessive end shaft play
bushing wear
weak coil, worn or cracked cap, and button
weak module
corrosion buildup
weakened advance springs
gear wear
if going from points to HEI this alone is a huge upgrade
All of the above can greatly affect the performance of your engine.
These are just a few of the things that most old distributors have going on with them. For the low cost of a complete brand new one, it just makes little sense to used the original distributor. When we rebuild any early model Chevy engine, we insist the customer purchase a new distributor. You will notice a performance difference in your engine if you have any of the above issues with your old distributor. All of the old HEI's we see have excess end play in the shaft. I'm sure the coils on them are not at full voltage. This is much more than the oem model. All car makers have dramatically improved the ignition systems on cars and trucks. This is an indication of how important good ignition is to an engine.
Below is a picture to give you an idea of what the distributor will look like in the engine.
I consider this the absolute best mod you can do to your engine.
WE HAVE ACCESSORY ITEMS AVAILABLE FOR THIS DISTRIBUTOR
This distributor also has the performance curve setup. Do not be mislead into thinking other HEI's on the market are superior to this. If anything they are most likely the older version. We have sold more HEI's than any seller, and we provide the newest models available.
