Hi, I'm Giulio from Italy. I have a big problem:

My car is an '82 Pontiac Trans Am.
Engine is 305 5.0 V8 Crossfire injection.
I've changed Intake manifold (Edelbrock #2101) and I've add a carburator (Edelbrock #1406).
My friend tell me that I need a new distributor with vacuum advance. I don't now what type is correct for my engine. I don't know if I need mecanical or electronic. Please, can you help me? Thanks a lot

 

Yes, you need a vac advance fully mech distributor, not an EST distributor like on FI systems

 

Please look picture, distributor on the right is correct? How can I wire it? Thanks

 

Get a HEI with coil in cap, chuck that old thing on the right.

The one on the right will work, but it's a points-type distributor. You need a "ballast resistor" as well to drop the voltage down to 6 volts. You would wire it to the "BATT" wire from your original distributor.

But, I don't think you want to go that way. Twin_Turbo has the better route. You really want an electronic trigger type distributor, not points.

 

You need one that looks like the one on the left but a non computer controlled version with a vacuum advance on it.

 

I need it, but please, can you post an ebay link to buy it?

I find this announcements, what distributor is better for me?

that one

 

This is better? (65k vs 50k)?

I also finded this: http://www.pertronix.com/prod/ig/flame/dist/hei.aspx

 

And this:
http://www.ebay.it/itm/Pertronix-D10...item58a2abb648

Do you think it is the best choice?

 

Any one of them should work, but the Pertronix is probably better quality than the others.

 

And this?

Better than the Pertronix. But, whether or not it is worth the extra money, that is up to you.

 

But now i have a problem, they asked me if I have a SBC or a Pontiac engine . . . My engine was Lu5 crossfire injection, 305 5.0 V8. I've changed intake manifold (#2101 Edelbrock) and add a carburator (#1406 Edelbrock).

I have to buy a distributor for Pontiac or Chevy? :-(

 

#2101:

You need a SBC chevy motor. All of our motors are chevy regardless of being a firebird or camaro.

So again you have a 305 SBC Chevy v8

Good luck

 

Thank you very much to all

Excuse my ignorance, I'm used of Fiat engines :-D

 

No problem, ask all the questions you can and if the translation is not clear feel free to say to

 

65 vs 50K will not matter in your application

 

Excuse me, I have another question:
Originals Spark Plugs are good? I have RV19YC

 

Those are OEM and should work just fine.
