well i broke down and ordered a new Proform unit with the traditional HEI cap and coil combination. it's a one wire hook-up which will be a clean installation on my truck. I got a new polished billet distributor, new federal mogul 8.8 HEI wires ready to install and autolite plugs delivered for 140$. that's cheaper than buying all new mopar ignition parts (coil, distributor, cap, rotor, wires, plugs, ecu, ballast and wiring). If it clears firewall in my Studebaker, I'm good. thanks for advice. JP in the land of Oz.
