I'm running Tom's mini HEI and it's one of the best additions to my truck. Now she starts first crank and burns the gas, no more sooty plugs. Also any parts you need are at any parts store, not so with 50 years old points etc.
I have a very inexpensive and old Dwell Meter, best way to check points setting.


It's easier to get forgiveness than permission!
