Does anyone know if an HEI distributor, with the coil mounted in the top of the cap, can be converted to a regular cap and rotor, and remote mounted coil?
Thanks !!

I think MSD sells a conversion kit to run the plain cap with an external coil...??? OOps!! Just checked the Summit site, Mallory and Taylor both make the cap, didn't see one from MSD...
