I thought it would be fun if someone or several someones identified a problem with theitr car that needed to be fixed, and that could be fixed in the afternoon, and everybody chipped in to get it done. I don't know what the selection criteria would be to determine who/what is eligible, but it might be fun.

It's a really long shot, but there is an outside chance — depending on luck, skill, timing, phase of the moon, and the price of chocolate chip futures — I might actually show up to this meet in a slant-6 car. If so, and if anyone'd be interested in doing up an EI (or HEI) conversion...!

I have a spare good 1974 slant six EI distributor. It needs a new vacuum advance pod, but those are only about $10. I would be happy to bring my piston stop tool so we could verify where your timing mark should be, and I would be happy to bring my dial-back timing light so we could map out what spark advance curve you have and the spark advance curve of the 74 dist. In my brother's van I ended up using a stock 74 Valiant distributor with the base timing advanced to 6-8 degrees. Big heavy vehicles like vans like slower advance curves.

Does that sound like a plan to everyone?

I might bring the intake, carb, and HEI ignition system I have been meaning to put on my 5th Ave and do that swap, if I haven't already gotten to it. I need to get that lean-burn system out of there, but I just keep getting dumped on with work...

It would be great to finally meet Dan, after all the conversations we have had online.

I would be glad for a few things here:

1. Finally get to meet one of the masterminds on the board.. yay!

2. I would definitely help with an (H)EI conversion. I haven't done a HEI one yet, but would love to get my hands dirty doing it!

3. Get to see alot of others I missed out on last time. :(

I'm down with it Neil,3rd sounds good for me.Reed as far as doing a recurve dizzy for me would be nice but don't worry about it. Just hanging and kickin tires, chewing the fat would be good. How's the old song go,"Prop me up beside the jukebox..with a cold beer in my hand",you get the idea :wink:

Sure thing, but checking TDC and mapping the dist cruve on your van is actually quite easy. Recurving it takes little more than popping the distributor out and disassembling it. Heck, I would recomend starting by just swapping this 74 Valiant distributor in and driving it around to see if you like it or not. Fine tuning the vacuum advance is something you can do slowly by yourself since all it takes is driving and turning an Allen wrench.

I will bring all the tools and we can decide whether or not to change anything that day.
