Anyone build and sell the HEI mod?

Mazda_Powered · Post by **Mazda_Powered** » March 21st, 2006, 1:15 am

just wondering for future reference if anyone on the site does or can build a working HEI disti? everything but the disti unit and coilpack, so like the cap/rotor/wiring/relay/disti wiring instructions.

this isnt anytime soon, probably in a month or so. i'd just rather have someone else do it for me, test it out, and send it out.

thanks

JACK

Pointless. Its soooooo easy.

By the time a person buys the parts and adds on their profit + shipping, you could have saved yourslef atleast $50.

I did this mod about 3 weeks ago and im VERY happy I did it.

I can, and I have, for people on mx-3.com b4 but I must agree with custommx3 in that it is easy to do but as with others I have helped, maybe your just not a hands on guy

...that sounded weird but no dissrespect. Some people just aren't confident working on there cars.

PM me if you need more info.

lol i'm confident with working on my car. i'm doing a full mx3/klze swap on my protege gt in a month or 2

should i just use my ZE disti cap? or get those pre-built caps i've seen on a website? or just tap the mx-3 disti i'll be using?

Id just mod a cap, its VERY easy, just need a small drill bit the size of the screw in the power tower and maybe a countersink.

You need the coil wire anyways and the MSD coil wire comes with one.

I had a ZE disty cap, but the band it in it didnt seem to have continuity with the coil wire connector.

Yeah, Thanks!
I'm an old school mechanic, and just need to overhaul my confidence on cars with brains.

I spent 1300 on distys until I figured out the HEI conversion and haven't even flinched about concern of breakdown due to the HEI....It's a cheap redilly available part and therefore, in my books, an awsome upgrade! It was so stupid when I was scared to warm up my car for too long worried that I would come out of the house to find my car not running anymore and I was hitched for wheels that day or two!
