I am in need of a non computerized dizzy; one of the old style HEI units with the coil in the cap. I'm looking for one that been upgraded for a hotter spark and such. Thanks. Nitro-Nicky

 

You can pick up some cheap chinese ones with a 60,000 volt coil for relatively cheap these days. 60.00 or so brand new. I got one for a friends car at a turlock swap meet from Finish Line Performance 909-721-7072 is the # I have for them. Im sure they'll ship if needed...Dont know exactly where they are from.

 

Thanks for the suggestion; it's a good one. Unfortunately I just don't trust those type of parts. We usually have a handful of dizzy's come through the general engine parts 'For Sale' message board, but I thought I'd check with our local group first. I got my last 2 distributors delivered to me while I was out drag racing at Infinion Raceway. That was really convienent and a fun way to talk shop and see a couple great cars!
By the way; how do you like your Vigilante torque converter? Worth every penny you spent?

 

Bought One!

 

yes it was worth it. I bought it secondhand but it was still new. I only paid 350 for it. And after I sold the 4l60e shiftkit he threw in with it, it only cost me 315 haha. I did that and drag radials, picked up .2 in my 60' and .4 in the 1/4 mile. That was worth it. It'd be worth it if I paid the 800 for it new too. I deffinately suggest getting one if you can. Ramair21 has one in his car too and loves it. But he doesnt have any before/after times for it.

 

Thanks there for the thorough reply. When I had my 700r built to stage 3 standards, the builders snuck in a sub par torque converter thinking I wouldn't notice, but I called the manufacturer for all the specs on it and found out I'd be lucky if it held up to 300 pounds of tq. I just bought a Paxton system which should put me up over the 500 hp level and I'll have to do a couple Dyno tests to find out what type of torque I'm actually pulling. So I definitely want to put something sweet between my shifting legs (so to speak) before I drop the new engine in and pull that marginal TQ out of there while the access is easy.

Again, thanks for taking time out for a reply! Nitro-Nicky

 

You welcome I heard good things about edge converters their is one for sale on this site. Thier is a 3 disk vigilante for sale too which is for more serious racers too

 

I've got a brand new ZZZ vacuum advance distributor, not sure if it's what you're looking for, but it would take the large cap. Let me know

 

He said he got one already...Norcalz28 could have used that money nitro!

 

Yep, too bad. I always prefer to keep the money in our local F-body community. Nitro!

 

No worries, I totally missed the part where you already got one haha
