I was wondering what I have to do to put a late model distributor into my 70 chevelle. It is out of a 77 buick I think.

I think you would have to leave it bolted to the Buick to make it work. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/wink.gif
Any small or big block CHEVY distributor will fit, see the article by Wes Vann in the tech reference section for more info.

Al,
I had a good chuckle out of your response, but then I thought of something. Remember back in the late 70's when lots of folks were raising a stink 'cause GM was putting Chevy engines in other make GM cars?? I believe Oldsmobile was the recipient of the brunt of consumers' ire, but I think some Buicks of that era were using Chevy engines, too. So the answer to 70chevelle's question may not be as obvious as it seems at face value. Just a thought......
