for a dodge 230. i was going to hop up my 230 dodge in my m-37, but have decided to keep it stock until my helitool conversion of engine, pedals and steering. i have already done the brakes 4 wheel discs and 2 circuit master.
i will now offer up to this site first the following hop up items.
1 gm hei 12v coil in cap distributor 1 wire modified to fit a 230. the tang was indexed for the m-37 oil pump which prevents the distributor from being installed 180 degrees out. this distributor started out as a rebuilt gm unit with new internals, and was modified to fit dodge. i installed it on my m37 and the engine ran fine with plugs gapped at over .045 gap. it has a vacuum hookup and a fully adjustable collar to let the dist be rotated to clear underhood obstructions. i ran it and then promptly removed it because i did not want to butcher my 24v wiring. i had planned to convert to 12v when i first got the truck as the m37 guys scared me into belieivng that 24v systems are troublesome. $225 shipped in us.
2 barrel dodge factory 230 factory cast intake manifold. sandblasted. all studs removed, threads chased and mating surfaces good. you can surface grind or just polish mating surfaces. this manifold has the same square flange to attach it to a stock exhaust manifold. if you are going to use fenton or phillips split exhausts, you can buy a plate that fits over the bottom and has a heat tube provision. nice piece. 150 shipped.
buy both and i will reduce price to $350. thanks.
i will post pictures this weekend if there is interest.
