ok i am converting from tpi to carb since the 305 spun a bearing got a 75 350 from a corvette and it needs a distibutor
intake and a carb. just wanted to know is there a special distributor that i need and for the intake im thinking a torqer 2
and a holley 650 carb. thanks

 

just need to know what kind of distributor to get and how to hook it up

 

All you need is an older style HEI distributor

 

like this one right but how do i wire it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevy...QQcmdZViewItem

 

Just use one of the wires from the stock coil (I think its the thicker pink one)that turn on with the ignition for your 12v and the white wire from the coil is your tach. That needs to go to the HEI distributor also thats it.FYI summit sells the power/tach wire pig tail connectors that fit the older HEI so you splice and plug in.

 

Don't get the torker. It is a terrible intake. Go with a performer rpm or something.

 

Yes that distributor that you listed will work

 

yea i hear that the torqer sucks

 

call the edelbrock tech line.even they will tell you the torker 2 is a pile of junk.if you plan on changing cams,the rpm is a nice manifold.if you are in emissions country,the performer is street legal everywhere.
a holley 650 is a great carb for a 350!rule of thumb(not etched in stone),vacuum secondary for auto trans,double pumper for standard trans(and if someone else pays for your gas)!actually you can get good(not great)mileage from a d/p if you keep your foot out of it.it's just not easy for me to do!
i got a remanufactured hei distributor from advance auto parts for $80,slapped an msd in cap coil and ignition module in it when $ permitted, and am VERY pleased with the stock appearing hei!
i must caution however,i have had trouble with remanufactured distributors from other parts stores.i went thru 4 just to get a good one for a chevy II many years ago!
E-man has the wiring correct
good luck!
