The V6 is an even fire engine. I'm trying to de-computerize it and am wondering what's different between the 350 HEI and the 231's HEI. Is there anything different except for the pickup coil? Any reason why I couldn't disassemble the V8 distributor and install a V6 pickup coil?
Housing, shaft and gear are (I think) the same. You should be able to just swap the 'guts' from one to the other. Considering how many V-6 distributors there are out there, it might be easier to just hit the junkyard.
