Are they converting this from another GM HEI Distributor? Always wondered if this was a machined down BOP.

OK but is there a BOP Dist that's close enough that a simple turn on the lathe might make it fit? Guessing that the housing would be the only mod needed.

Ouch... something wrong about being on the BullTear Forum talking about someone else's parts when Matt has them tried and true right here!
Buy BullTear! (I know Matt is too nice a guy to say something like that, but there it is!)
Keep those AMC's rolling though!

Ebay... Whiteperformance1 (or type up AMC HEI and look for one that sells for $56-ish) plus there is a lifetime warranty on them. They stand by there products and their customers. Look on the other sites, people are talking about them.
Nice resurrect on an old thread!
Just want to add: For god's sake, reuse your old distributor gear! Never, ever, ever use the one that comes with any aftermarket AMC unit.

Due to my own ignorance I need an explanation here...
1) If you use a 1-wire hook-up HEI dizzy, then you toss the stock ignition box?
2) If you use a multi-wire HEI dizzy or MSD/Mallory then you need an aftermarket ignition box?
-Matt
With the 1-wire HEI's, you do not need the old ignition module or an aftermarket one.
You don't need one with any HEI that has a module in it.
I have, in the past, taken the module out of an HEI and used its pickup to trigger an MSD box. There is a way to use an MSD box with the HEI module still in the circuit, but that makes absolutely no sense.
