    86 k5 long tube headers

    does any one have any recommendations for a decent set of long tube headers that will bolt up to an 86 k5 without any modifications (besides the a/c bracket)? bought a set of jegs headers that said they were for a k5 but my mechanic says they dont fit, what have you guys used and had good luck...

    hei vacuum advance stop plate

    ok, appreciate it, so sounds like i should just leave it off when i first install it, ive never dealt with setting the timing curve or any of this so im pretty well clueless at this point

    hei vacuum advance stop plate

    so is it just trying different ones until you like it? the plate it came with has 5 thru 8, 8 thru 11, 11 thru 14 and 14 thru 17, i havent the slightest clue which to start with or if the plate is even necessary

    distributor removal

    quick question for you guys, im replacing a bad intake manifold gasket(at least i hope thats the problem) my question is how important is it to have the distributor at tdc? or do you just have to make sure it goes in in the same position it came out? advice is allways appreciated

    hei distributor

    its the stock distributor and i got rid of all the esc stuff, when i changed the cap and rotor it was pretty rusty and nasty looking inside, i was looking at a mas distributor online i think it was 60 or 70 bucks, im just not sure what the difference is in the rpm ranges

    hei distributor

    i am planning on swapping out my stock 86 distributor with new hei, i see them at 6500rpm 7500rpm and 9000rpm, hoping someone could tell me what the difference is in the performance, its going in a 400sb with rv cam so not a race car
