The wires are different - HEI ignition wires won't work in a standard distributor - they all go in the same relative places though.
Depends on weather your referring to a modern vehicle with a fuel injection 327, or a classic car. Depends on if points or electronic ignition . An example being a 68 Chevy 327 with points type distributor I set the gap at .035 now same engine with electronic ignition HEI distributor Icap a bit larger a max of .045
1,8,4,3,6,5,7,2 same as the firing order
all chevy V8 are the same 18436572 in a clockwise distributor rotation when viewed from the top.
Usually. It's all about the type of distributor being used.
It should be the same as the small block.18436572.
It's the same on a Chevy pull your distributor cap see what position the rifle buld is facing and drop the electronic dust. In the same position and wire it up and add an ignition power to the distributor.
its inside the distributor cap should have two-three plugs going to it, it is about the same size as a domino(black).
The ignition coil is integrated with the distributor cap, they are one unit. On 3.3 Litre at least, probably the other engines too. If there's no coil wire to the distributor (should look the same size as the spark plug wires) then it's a good indication that the distributor is also the coil.
Yes
NO they are not the same.
NO. Depends on the year. On the pre-fuel injected motors, all Chevy V-8 engines used the same distributor. Use some common sense, a 1968 distributor is not the same as a 1980, but you get the idea. Use one from the same era as your vehicle.
same as a 350
