Deve's kit is not HEI. It may well provide spark without points, but HEI, it is not.
In my opinion, based on a miserable experience with a Pertronix unit, there are only two ways to go with providing spark for a Stovebolt engine.
1) Original points.
2) An actual HEI distributor. (They are available ready to install from some vendors.)
Carl's 2 cents. (Actually the Pertronics incident cost me a couple hundred bucks. I am lucky it didn't catch my truck on fire.)
