    After finding that NO ONE seems to know anything about My Stinger ignition,i am going to switch to HEI.The question is if i have a 1970 motor what years of HEI will fit my motor?

    look for the 1975-76 HEI setup. It is the same shaft and drive gear as the earlier 300,340,350. You will probably have to grind a small amount off of the front of you intake maniflod or the HEI distributor will not clear. You will also need to probably reroute the fuel line as it runs in a different route as to the points location. The wiring will need to be run as to maintain a constant 12 volts to the coil. Standard points setups actually cut back down to around 6-8 volts instead of running a full 12 for the distributor. This is a pretty straight forward wiring job. If you need a new or rebuilt distributor let me know and I can provide you with a unit that will drop in.
