HEI on LT1?

Will HEI distrebutor will fit on a carb'd LT1? If the carb was mechanical can you use the stock electric distrebutor from 92 TPI on LT1?

If you get a intake manifold that has provisions for a HEI distributor, than yes you can use it on a LT1. Don't know about the one for a 92 TPI though.

Yes the intake got the hole its from GM the one that you can convert LT1 fuel injection to carburetor and about TPI distrebutor what I meant was can I use electric distrebutor that has external coil from TPI and mechanical carb on LT1?
