HEI vs. Mopar Box

360scamp said

I got tired of the stock mopar underhood electrics about 5 years ago so I have been running a chebby one wire alt., blaster 2, and a chebby 4 pin hei unit. I haven't had any problems at all. It runs great Im just getting that itch to change things again. I think that I will do the MSD swap as soon as I get the extra funds and find a good deal on the dist. and box.

If you like the idea of reducing the wiring under the hood why not look at one of the ready to run distributors from MSD, Accel or Mallory. The idgnition box is inside the distributor so there is just three wires to hook up. One for switched power to turn the distrubutor on and off, one for ground and one for the negative side of the coil. Plus these distributors are all adjustable for amount and rate of advance and can be had with or without vacuum advance.

My son brought home from work one of the new Mopar Performance billet distributors. It's a Mallory made unit that still uses the stock mopar type pick-up, cap and rotor but has the Mallory adjustable advance mechanisom and the nice bearings on the shaft. I am triggering a MSD 6A with it.
