    HEI Distributor conversion

    The bigger distribuitor cap units will not fit without modifying the firewall. I did however do the HEI conversion with a smaller unit from Skip White with good results. ( have since had to replace the ignition modual x2 ) and went a step further the last time by locating the modual by the...

    M880 running problems

    I agree with NDT, I have never had a vapor lock issue. After checking the ignition ,I would check for a vaccume leak starting with the carb mounting bolts. ( seems like I always have to snug them up )

    No gas

    Yes, there is a screen at the end of the pickup tube. If you suspect it is clogged you may be able to pull the line at the pump and blow it out / off. On mine, there was a section of rubber line that was bad around the top of the pickup tube area.

    turn buttons

    I did not see the correct design from sailrite and WeeBee don't return my call, so I contacted some suppliers online with the NSN number. one wanted $190 for 32 and another wanted $360 for 32. Needless to say I am not paying any where that price. If any of you guys see these things sitting...
