JoeinCA Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 Hello, i was wondering if anyone had information about different Distributorless sytems available for early model Chevy engines... I have seen electromotive's offerings, but i dont really like how the system works, (the way you have to set up the sensors). Anyone around here use thier product? any opinions on how it performs? Also, i could have sworn that i saw a system that actually used a sensor that was put into the place of the distributor, then ran to a computer, and finally to a coil/spark plug wire (thing)(all of the wires ran from the unit to the spark plugs, i believe it was also the coil unit) Does that sound at all familiar to anyone? Kind of a shot in the dark, but the system i saw looked very clean and it seemed to leave enough space so that fabrication of a new hood latch wouldnt be required... Thanks for your time Joe.

BLKMGK Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 Holley just released one I think - BIG BUX! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silicone boy Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 Yeah, I was asking around today locally about fuel injection systems and a local shop highly reccommeded the Electromotive TEC II system that includes a crank-fired, distributorless system. I didn't like the idea at first, but I checked on their website and I found it interesting. It really doesn't look all that difficult when you look at their online manual. Also, it does eliminate the distributor, giving more room there at the back. There's one huge drawback. At over $3000 it's almost as much as I paid for the whole car!

Guest Anonymous Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 MSD has just come out with one for an 8. The rep couldn't give me a price yet but I am looking into it. It is like the new chevy system where it has a coil per cylider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinCA Posted February 26, 2002 Author Share Posted February 26, 2002 Holley, yeah, i think that is the one i saw... I just think it would be cool to have, and it would give alot of programmability for things like nitrous, or supercharging... But if it is $3000 or more... i'll buy a roots supercharger or an under-hood unit.. and then adapt the closer to stock ignition to it.. Unfortunately, all dreams at the moment, i just got the thing back on the road with the straight six, and i havent started the block (chevy 383 Stroker) prep or parts gathering for the swap... no money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
