ok guys what are all the parts i need to put a distributor in my gn with the v-6.. prob going to use a fast xfi ? give me a list of all the parts i need...
What are the benefits of going to distributor? I have always wondered.
Yes the new distributor becomes the cam sensor also. It works very well. There are several ways to complete this swap but an aftermarket ECM is needed at this time. Like Ted said Cal has an adapter which allows a stock harness to be converted for this. The FAST aftermarket harness allows for this swap too.

Currently only MSD offers a dizzy for the Buick V6. Any ignition box will work with this , but I suggest that anyone doing this swap stick to the proven combos, either a Crane Hi6 box digital ignition and coil or the MSD analog stuff.
If you have a FAST aftermarket harness, you will still need a harness I have made (it's diferent from the adaptor setup). With all the Coil on Plug setups I have sold lately, I think you will see a lot more dizzy stuff for sale along with stock stuff. The distributors allow you to run the internal 2-steps and rev limiters of the aftermarket engine managements.
The 8551 Distributors are not made anymore, so you will have to find a used one or alternative measures. I ended up using a 8552 Buick 455 one, removed the electronic guts, and put a stock cam sensor gear on it. Not plug and play....but on the upside it is physically taller and didn't interfere with my cold air pipe etc....and yes Cal is the man to talk to.
