For those of you who have already been there, what seems to be the better distributor conversion kit from points to HEI ?

Thanks

Are you wanting HEI or points conversion?

Either way you will get several opinons on the topic. As far as points conversion, I have the Pertronix original version. It has been in my car since 99 and so far no problems. Knock on wood.

I used this points conversion kit on my 71'. Still looks stock from the outside. Simple install and seems to work OK.

Same set up I have. I had Pertronix for a few years before that just to get rid of the points. No problems.
