Hello everyone in 3rd Gen-ville - So like it says is this doable and easy with great results...

 

HEI is a marketing acronym for High Energy Ignition. You can't install a marketing acronym AFAIK.

What *exactly* are you trying to do?

Yeah I know what it stands for but thanks... Does anyone run an HEI distributor and coil on their TPI 3rd Gen. I'm sorry in the title I abbreviated as I figured it would be easily translated and figured out. Should I have spelled out HEI in the second sentence on this post? Maybe?

 

I think you fail to understand - TPI already has HEI. That's just GM's marketing term for their ignition systems.

the 1987 and back tpi cars(or maybe 86 and back) may have had a coil in cap hei.BUT i know my 88 L98 and 91 LB9 both have small cap hei's with a separate coil and two connectors on the distributor

 

hey general: i have a question about a cam i just pulled out of an 88 L98 tpi if you can help.let me know pls.i dont think its stock and im knee deep in a cam swap.i have a few pics ,if that helps.

 

I'll help if I can. Send me a PM.

Regardless, it is still HEI. HEI is just GM marketing speak for all of their electronic distributors. Small cap or large cap. Doesn't matter. Every distributor after they stopped using points and condensers are HEI by definition if they came on a GM engine.
