Has anyone replaced their Mopar electronic ignition with a HEI distributor ? If so was there a noticeable performance gain ? Correct me if I'm wrong but from I have read most all HEI distributors do not require the Ballast Resister or the control box ( orange, chrome or what ever color you run ). Some due require a 6AL box that you mount in the engine compartment somewhere and some don't require the 6AL box. Is one better than the other. Just trying to get a feel if it's worth changing as I'm not sure how old my electronic distributor is. I know some HEI's are setup for cams other than stock cams and I'm running a Huges Engine cam with 530 intake lift and 536 Exhaust lift with duration at 228 degree at .050 intake and 232 degree duration Exhaust. There are quite a few different HEI's out there are there any to stay away from ? Thanks for the input !
