HEI: Anyone have this unit?
I'd like to add HEI to my (stock) L48. Is this unit OK? It's about $100 less than the offerings from Summit, et. al:

Furthermore, will I be able to retain this distributor when I (eventually) convert my motor to TPI?

I got mine from Jackson here on the forum. Don't know if he's still selling them. 
Haven't had time to install it yet though.

It may be too big for some TPI setups ... it's the exact same dimensions as a stock coil-in-cap HEI ... except it has a mech tach drive. Maybe someone else w/ TPI & HEI exp will chime in. But the Star deal is much better than the ebay one.

Just got off the horn with John over at Star Performance. Had 2 in stock and one is on it's way to me now. Should be just the ticket for my freshly rebuilt 350 in my '69. $163 is a great price!
