Thread: Points to HEI conversions

Tweet

Alot of people change out their old points and convert to HEI

Some people like to stay stock looking without having the coil mounted on the cap....

Some people like to use ignitor boxes with their HEI

Lets hear what your using on yours and why you like it

Got Spark?

Personally I prefer to go with electronic whenever possible. Guess I'm just getting old and prefer not to mess with points anymore. Unless your doing a restoration/era correct car who cares if it doesn't look original?

My own preference on a driver is to go with a factory setup wherever possible. I like the fact that if I have a component go bad that even on a Sunday (let alone if I'm a thousand miles from home and garage) I can go into a local parts store and get replacement parts rather than having to wait a few days to have them mail ordered in. Additionally, how many people keep the wiring diagrams handy in case they have to trouble shoot the system?. With a factory setup, a shop manual gives you all the instruction you need to identify defective components.

Just my 2 cents.
