HEI dimensions

I need to find out what the installed height is for a GM HEI in a small block (block to the top of the dist) and what is the diameter of the cap.

I've got a 350 4bbl engine with an HEI in it. I'll get measurements and a photo for you this morning. John

Hi Jeff
I didn't read your message closely enough, so I missed the measurement of height. Looks like 9 1/2" from the lip of the block where it bolts to the transmission, should be pretty close to the mounting point of the distributor.

Let me know if you need any other measurements. John
