I don't even know when GM went to the HEI, even if I did I don't know if the vacuum can is the same. Any help would be appreciated,

Moroso sells an adustable one for about $20 that fits 75-81 applications.

Thanks erik, I don't know what year HEI I have so I don't know if the the one you mention (75-81 applications) will fit. Is there a way I can determine the year of the distributor?

Thanks,
Kevin
