I've always used GM HEI ignitions and they have never let me down, but now I am switching to a tunnel ram and my HEI no longer fits. I read an old post that mentioned a small cap HEI, but I can't find one in any of my parts magazines; anybody know what they are and where to get one?
like I said I have always used GM's HEI so I'm kinda lost, but I'm looking at distributors and I see alot of them state points or dual points. am I missing something, because I always thought points were incredibly outdated but yet they're being advertised by msd and mallory as being a racing ignition? surely no sane person in this day and age would run points??? but I'm looking at a vacuum advance mallory unilite and if I'm understanding this right it doesn't use points, but I would need to buy a coil; do I have that right? and you can hook an electric tach to them also? any info is greatly appreciated! thanks
