I have a '51 p/u and all wires are removed. The engine is a 1961 235. my qustion is to get an HEI distributor is it possible to upgrade in some way the origninal or do i need to buy a new one.
I know very little about ignition wiring or coil vs. HEI.
Need a little help to keep it all simple.
Not sure why i need HEI other than i don't what any electrial hassle. (trouble of points and a coil) although i have many extra parts (points distributors)
Is it foolish to go with new 12V harnes and use old points dist?
Please advise, thanks very much. Mike.
51 3100, 235 purs with T5 swap

I'm on a 1950 3100 that needs very little. A true barn find $1000
