Chevy 194-292 Late L6 HEI Distributor with Super Cap

HEI Distributor with Super Cap for Chevrolet Late Inline-Six 194, 230, 250, and 292 CID (1963 and Later)

The Chevrolet inline-six engine family that ran from 1963 onward — covering the 194, 230, 250, and 292 CID displacements — powered some of the most popular builds in Chevrolet's history: Nova and Camaro inline-six swaps, C10 and K10 work trucks, Chevelle base models, and full-size vans. This TSP HEI distributor with Super Cap brings modern high-energy ignition performance to those applications with a self-contained design that eliminates the need for a separate ignition box or external coil.

This is a true HEI distributor — the internal coil and Super Cap are built into the distributor unit, producing 65,000 volts of spark output. That is a meaningful increase over standard external-coil distributor setups and results in more complete combustion across the RPM range, particularly on engines with wider plug gaps, mild performance camshafts, or lean-running carbureted setups. The magnetic trigger delivers a consistent, repeatable signal, and mechanical and vacuum advance give you direct control over base timing and total advance curve.
