Pulled the trigger, Going HEI

For $59.00 getting the complete HEI dissy and 8mm wires.
So it beats the $70 Duraspark dizzy and $30 Duraspark coil.

Guess I'll post the NOS Blue grommet Duraspark module and Harness on the classifieds. Along with the 3 TFI modules too.
Thanks All
on all the info on the ignition systems!

I have a how to on the HEI (I used the DUI version) conversion. The key thing for me was using an ignition relay to provide enough juice to the coil. Easy conversion though.

I replaced the feedback carb with normal one as well. Pulled the computer, converted the emissions that are left to vacuum control and the truck has never run better.

Help here if you need it..

Thanks Ks, Once I get a crossmember, I can hang the new gas tank, I will not install the new 2121 intake and Edelbrock 4V with the rust-holed gas tank.
As mentioned before once it is running with the new 4v (on the TFI system), then it's time for the HEI Dizzy swap.
