I agree, if its working, there is no HP in ignition. Just use good parts in your HEI and it will do the job fine.

Do you know what curve is in your current HEI? You might want lighter springs and an adjustable vacuum advance canister. The Pertronix Ignitor or the MSD modules are nice and pricey but both have built in rev limiters. I like the Accel coils but they canceled the Brute Thunder coil with the Red and White leads, I bought one of the last ones in existence. I also really like the now cancelled Accel 8.8 25 ohm race wires, they held up much better than the MSD Superconductor wires to the extreme towing heat my 403 went through. Also NGK XR5 plugs for iron heads over A/C Delco or Autolite.

You can use AC Delco parts and even go to NAPA Auto parts who own ACCEL .

GM HEI only way to go. I compared many others on a scope

A good HEI is golden, on the other hand, a bad HEI will make you replace an entire fuel system (hi,HooptieWagon !!).
