I converted many GM engines from points to HEI back in the day. It was and still is the best electronic distributor system ever made IMHO.
BTW- The new HEI was only 90 bucks.

I have no doubt that "in the day" an HEI conversion probably helped out a vehicle, especially one running on points.
But the new HEI systems that you purchase on ebay are probably 100% made in China. How reliable do you think it will be 20K miles from now? I'll give you a hint......carry lots of spare parts!
