We put over 450,000 miles on our previous shop truck before it rusted out the third time from winter salt and cinders (thanks MO Dept of Trans.). During this time I replaced the clutch once, the tires twice, AND THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION TWELVE TIMES!!!

After walking twice, I carried TWO of the things in the glove box, and the tools to change it.

As to the rest, we never even had to remove the cylinder head.

Since then, I have removed TWO HEI systems, and replaced them with points distributors with no issues.

Good carburetion is fuelish hot air
The most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify.
