I have a Rover 3.5 with the original distributor and Pertronix module.  I think that the HEI distriutor from a 350 Buick will fit but I'm not sure about hood clearance.  I don't have a distributor at hand to measure and try.  Has anyone out there tried this?  Thanks!

the Buick 350 dist will fit, you will need to replace the intake bolt with a button head allen bolt

The HEI dizzy will not clear the hood unless the engine is mounted very low and further back than normal.

I ran one for a while by spacing up the hood- looked terrible. Run the Pertronix and a MSD if you think you need more spark.
