Re: LFD's low buck truck build!

Well just like we all know too well the $ are starting to add up. I went to time this thing today and the HEI's advance is all coroded and froze solid. I shopped around for a new one and the best one I found for the money was thru summit (sum-85000R1 for $85.88) w/handling it was 96.83 to my door. I also needed new wires and the best value I found for 8m wires w/90* plug ends for my headers was from Napa for $34.31 (part# 7002.44). This adds a total of $131.14 to our build. If I was not trying to keep this a low buck build I would have gone with DUI's HEI for about $255. but the one from summit will work just fine for my needs.

Too bad about that HEI, I have one that I would have given you for shipping. I am sure that there are others on here that will have parts for you also at little to no cost. Just my 2 Cents
