RodneyUK Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Been looking at Chevy HE distributors, does anyone know if they can be adapted for a 56 Buick - has anyone done this ??? Been finding it difficult to get spares for the distributor. I've now repaired the clips that held the cap down as couldn't locate new ones. Could only get old stock re vacuum advance and retire canister. Looking for a replacement distributor - any thoughts on this ??? Thanks for your comments Alf.Regards Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old-tank Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Chevy stuff will not work. 57-66 nailhead distributors will work. If desired you can convert to electronic (Pertronix)...there are services available to convert to HEI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airy Cat Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I have used Pertronix on all of my Buicks for the last 20 years and have had absolutely no problems with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
