Installation Notes

  • NOTE: Distributor with melonized steel gear MUST be used with long blocks and partial engines with steel camshafts, or engine damage will occur. GMPP distributor P/N 93440806 is recommended.
  • Carburetor and starter not installed because of crate fitment.
  • Clutch linkage boss is cast into block, but must be drilled and tapped. When using cast iron exhaust manifolds, lower head bolts may need to be replaced with bolts with shorter heads, for clearance.
  • Requires electric fuel pump because Gen VI block has no mechanical pump boss
  • Comes with a 14" automatic transmission flexplate.
  • Intended for pre-1977 street vehicles or all off-road vehicles.
  • Not intended for marine applications.
