HEI conversion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question
Can an original 69 points distributor be converted to a HEI module setup using the original distributor to get rid of the points setup? If yes, what setup would you reccomend?
Thanks for any input.

I believe that there are conversion kits available but it might be easier to simply replace it with one of the tach drive units in the group purchase

Replace you plugs (larger gap) and wires and you're done.

You can convert your points distributor to electronic, Pertronix and Mallory both make good systems. You could not convert your original distributor to HEI because the HEI's have the coil in the cap.
