Joe, give Buffalo Enterprises a call at (360) 652-7684. He does this work
all the time and knows all the details. I run an HEI on my 261 and would not
have anything else. I do not remember what year or what engine mine came
from as a friend of mine gave me the old distributor and rebuilt it
including the necessary machine work.

Subject: [oletrucks] HEI Distributor
Hi everyone,
I was talking someone at a show last year who installed an HEI distributor
in his 235 engine but forgot what year he used. I remember him saying
something about it originally being to long and having to have the housing
machined down. Does anyone have a factory electronic distributor installed
and if so could you tell me what year it is, what it came off of and any
modification required to bolt it on.
I'm planning on building a truck with the 235 but would like not having to
mess with points. I remember burning them up before because I had to have
the key on to play the radio and that would send current to the points. I
know I could install a newer switch with the acc position or run the radio
with full time power instead of ignition but I'd probably leave the radio
on and kill the battery.
I picking the 235 because I have my old speed equipment ( Fenton header and
Edmonds custom dual carb manifold) that I removed when I sold my first truck
and would like to hear that sound of the 6 cylinder through a set of smitty
mufflers again.
