Lightbulb Re: Help clarify harness adaptation existing HEI to OE points

I had similar results when I switched the Pro Billet MSD distributor out for a correct distributor for my 1972 Cheyenne 402. The truck has a lot more pep and idled smoother.

The few downsides to points are the occasional rubbing block and contact wear. For as little as mine are driven, it will be years before they need a tune up. Using USA made old issue parts does make a difference, and also using the proper distributor cam lube.
