Question
I have recently come into possession of a Chev 350 V-8 from a wrecked out 2006 Tahoe. I want to put it into a 1958 Chevy. The engine has no distributor or anything that I recognize from my hot-rod days in the 60's. Is there a kit or module set or something that can be purchased to make this engine adaptable to a 1958 antique?

Answer
Are you sure its a 350 and not a 327? As far as I know, the engines are either a 5.3L V8 or a 6.2L V8 in the new GM SUVs.

In either case, there is no distributor. There is a crank position sensor and one coil per cylinder. You would need the engine's computer, complete wiring harness, etc.
