Reply to "HEI Distributor"

It's probably fine and seems well priced. My guess is it's similar to the Performance Distributors marine unit I installed on my boat with 351W HO engine, that uses a GM-based coil. After some drama I concluded that the GM coil, needing 10.7V to fire, MUST be fed straight from the battery (NOT through the switch/starter circuit, that with starter turning when trying to first fire the coil, is marginal on getting 10.7V--and that's with a gear-reduction starter). They basically tell you that, but I wasn't "listening" when I first wired it. YMMV. I can't comment on clearance issues on a Goose, I've only had Panteras. Not an issue on my boat. Might be a concern on a Pantera due to the rear glass, but I'm running a big distributor on mine now (or at least my former one), close but not a problem, but probably not as tall as the one you're considering.
