If you DO go HEI, be sure to buy a quality coil and try to find an old (pre-1980) AC Delco module.

Hi Rich,
I have the HEI distributor ready to go otherwise I might have considered something else. I bought several NOS modules and coils in dusty old AC /GM boxes. I've read that the HEI might have an issue with the old external regulator alternator so that's why the SI conversion, even if that's really not the case, wouldn't hurt.
