I have a 1966 C-10 with a factory 327cid. It has the original points/rotor/condenser distributor. I have seen many trucks of this era with the HEI ignition upgrade.
I would consider myself mechanically inclined, but by no means a auto mechanic. I would like to upgrade to HEI but do not know if I am capable of doing this swap with my level of knowledge and expertise. Is this a bolt-on swap? What is required to do so?
A quick tutorial of what it takes of a tech. article would be helpful. If I am unable to tackle this task, how much would it cost to have the swap done professionally. Lastly, what are the advantages of a HEI ignition over the points ignition.
I appreciate in advance your input in this matter.
