Greg, I had a GT V-8 with the 215 and an HEI dist.  It works fine, however, 
the larger distributor cap just adds to the height a bit, so you engine needs 
to sit nice and low.  Its no great advantage, but it will work.  I would 
trade it for an electronic ignition unit that has the coil remote.  The HEI 
unit does not look the least bit stock under there if you are going for that 
look.
