What he said 100%

If the work was done by a well known shop then it should be fine - but it isn't.

I bought my 73 from a mechanic who works at a reputable shop. When I asked why he hadn't converted to HEI he said he tried and it didn't work.

The reason it didn't work was because he used the old ignition wire with the resistor. The first thing I did was run a new ignition wire and install an HEI. Haven't had a single issue since the first start.
