I have a HEI system from Deve's Tech. I called and talked to him about the system, and He told me his design uses less power than the old points distributor. I converted my distributor with his conversion kit and am happy with how it turned out. I am far from done with all the necessary wires and hoses. My radiator is a new aluminum one. I shortened the water pump myself and found a shorter chrome pully. I mounted a spin on oil filter to the block just behind the alternator. I installed a removable orifice in the inlet housing, and after I get it running and see where my oil pressure runs at, I can easily modify the orifice to filter as much as I want without sacrificing oil pressure. I think I'll use grease gun hoses for the oil lines. They are 1/8" pipe so they will go right into my block without a lot of clutter. So far, I have re-wired everything and installed a switchable fuse block under my dash on the steering support brace. So, when I turn on my key; heater, wipers, fuel gauge, voltmeter, (I replaced the new 12v amp meter with a voltage meter) turn signals, and Gear Vendor overdrive all power up. I still need to determine what radio I want. I want one with Bluetooth. I have twelve available fuse spots and so far, only use 6. All the lights fuses will be out where they were originally, on the firewall, but flat blade fuses. I rebuild the Huck brakes all around and all the body work is done for my part. The painter will fine tune the body before he paints it. So far since I started this rebuild it has been just a year this February.
