BUILDER, TURNS OVER, COMPLETE MINUS CARB AND DISTRIBUTOR. IT IS BONE STOCK

VALVE COVERS....EVEN HAS THE GLASS FUEL FILTER ATTACHED. MOTOR HAS BEEN

IN OFFERS..........NOT LOOKING FOR A TON OF MONEY......JUST SOMETHING FAIR.
I'M IN NORTH FLORIDA AND CANNOT SHIP. MOTOR IS IN NORTH ALABAMA AT
FRIENDS SHOP. THANKS!! OH....IT IS 4 BARRELL SET-UP.

I have NO IDEA why people in the past, who even SEE these engines, feel compelled to remove the distributor, and get rid of it... leaving the rest of the engine complete ?????.... they are unique to the W block, and there doesn't seem to be a real decent, stock configuartion, new distributor available
What I'm saying is, if you can locate the distributor, it will attract more buyers, and help get a decent price.

 

[LINDSEY SMITH]

YEAH....GOOD POINT. MY 409 DOSEN'T HAVE THE DISTRIBUTOR EITHER. SO......WHAT ARE MOST OF YOU GUYS RUNNING FOR A DISTRIBUTOR? I'VE HEARD BAD FEEDBACK ON
MSD SET-UPS. JUST FOR A GOOD STREET MOTOR......WHAT DO YOU GUYS LIKE? THANKS

I use a stock type distributor with a crane electronic module that replaces the points, works on hal effect. As the RPM increases so does the spark.

I'm looking for a 348. What will you take for yours.

Lindsey, Sorry I didn't give you more information about myself and what I have. I have a 58 impala that I restored a about 10 years ago. It's a one of a kind as it was the incentive award from general motors for the top salesman of the year. Soon after I restored it a little old farmer ran over the front end with a very large tractor and took off the right front end. The previous owner had changed the engine for 69 350. Now I'm trying to get back to the 348. I live in Montgomery Alabama and it would be great to find one this close.

Hi Jim. Welcome to the site. Sounds like you have a good story to tell us. You might want to start a new thread here on
" Introduce Yourself" and tell everyone what you have and what you need besides the want ads.
