Conversions:
Large cap HEI from 1974.5-1976 5.7L (350ci) Buick V8, (A-1 part# 30-1896). Swap on the Rover distributor gear and oil pump drive. Front intake bolt on the left side may need to be trimmed a little to fit. Later Buick V6’s that used the same large cap HEI distributor used a button style allen head bolt for more clearance. It also fits the TR8 engine.
An older “small cap” points style distributor from the same Buick engine also works and can be upgraded to electronic ignition by installing a Crane or Pertronix kit. Distributor gear also needs to be converted as above. No manifold clearance issues exist with this unit.

Comments: Any GM 4cyl HEI module of the same year should be identical in shape and will probably work. The dwell settings may not be perfect for the TR7, but it should get you home in a pinch.

Comments:
“No exact replacement: reuse original back shell. The permanent magnet is correct on both the DR-107 and DR-103. (Probably any pickup module magnet with a similar size/shape will work regardless of the config uration of the star ring stator). You will probably need to cut off the small indexing tab on the pickup coil to be able to orientate it properly in the shell (the original coil had no tab). The pickup coil Green wire always goes to the “G” terminal.” - Tony Rhodes

Comments: “There are a number of ignition options for the TR7. It appears that the very best is the Delco HEI distributor with the Delco D525 coil or the “Peugeot” coil. The Lucas CEI appears to have a better spark energy overall than the original HEI system supplied by Triumph, but not as good as an improved HEI system.” - Tony Rhodes
