Re: Rockauto HEI

I have had good luck with MSD Streetfire
I have a buddy that has been rockin' a Duralast HEI for 5 years, trouble free.
Neither one was exactly plug-n-play though, both required tuning.

advance limiting, spring swaps and vac-adv adjustments.

Unfortunately, you probably aren't going t o pull a dizzy out of a box that is perfectly set up for your particular application.

Re: Rockauto HEI

Attachment 2057651Thank You all for the feedback. I’m keeping the motor stock and not looking to do any tuning. I decided on the Cardone NEW HEI. They have a lifetime warranty and from what I can find i think it’s built in the USA. I also purchased an autoline 292 carb...not sure what difference it will have if any on the 250. But figured i would give it a try. I’m planning on replacing all my gaskets starting with the valve cover which I removed this past weekend and is currently curing with the gasket. Next up will be the intake manifold and exhaust manifold gaskets.

Is there a better way to get in touch with him? I was looking to purchase a few other items as well...
