HEI with stock size dist. cap ?

[Chevy454]

You can make a small body hei using either an MSD (if you want billet) or Chrysler (if you want widely available & in stock at parts stores) reluctor, and then a magnetic pickup (MSD is best bet)...it sounds a lot harder than it actually is. The only machining needed is to knock down the lobes on the shaft so the reluctor will fit over it...then, just hide your MSD box and your golden.
