Re: Help clarify harness adaptation existing HEI to OE points

I'm with you. For the amount of driving I'll do this is a good way to go in. In fact, I'm tempted to swap out the HEI in the K20 but that hasn't given me any issues. I will send another points distributor off for a rebuild and keep that on the spare parts shelf. Maybe that'll be a project for next winter. The builder made some advance curve and weight adjustments to this one and remarked that it will will perform better than the "truck distributor" GM supplied.

The USA made plug wires from Lectric Limited are a real nice product and are cut to match a 4wd 350 engine HERE. At least right now, it's not difficult to cobble together (nearly) all US made ignition products. There's a guy here in WI selling reproduced copper terminal caps and black D409-style rotors (rotor is in the above photo) both of which are solid. NOS/NORS examples can still be had too. The Echlin NAPA IC14 coil is made in Mexico and I did install it after returning the PRC-made IC14SB. I wasn't able to source a US coil.
