HEI is definatly an upgrade over a points/condenser setup but I would think the spark energy is not as much as a CD/MSD box. Hard to beat the MSD stuff.
hello everyone my buddy Bruce has been making these distributors for quite some time, since the eighties at eyeball engineering. he sells one every once in a while.
I adapted and ran a GM HEI distributor on a couple motors. The spark is more than with a perlux or compufire with a blue coil, but I think the multiple spark from a MSD can't be beat.
Dammit guys...sorry........ever since paul got hit with the coil wire its hard too keep him under control..... :w00t:...........................bad paul bad....bad :turd: :turd: :w00t:
ive seen a couple in buggys, i actually ended up with 1 of them back in 08 for a couple of months and sold it to a buddy of mine, its still doing fine with no touble reports whatsoever
I have one out in the garage if anyone needs it. I intended to use it before they came out with MSD distributors and then never needed it. Mike McCarthy
We've put them in a few Ford engines at work and they work very well, no problems with them at all. They are a HUGE distributor cap though. I put an HEI dist in my 69 Chevy truck with a straight 6 250ci. Best thing I ever did to that truck.
