Re: Just found a 1967 swb survivor!

HEI is nice, but if you want a stock look check to see if Petronix makes a 6-cyl module (or they may be the same as 8 anyway). Then you can keep your stock distributor and gain multiple spark discharge, I think capacitive discharge, rev limiter, all of the stuff you'd expect in a full ignition box but inside your stock cap.

Love mine. I'd get an Ignitor II rather than an Ignitor III because the latter (which is what I have) seems incompatible with some factory tachs, though it's hit or miss it seems.

Nice motor! A lot of people would have put in hardened seats so you don't have re-do them in 100,000 miles again, but that feels like false economy to me.
