Some see the glass as half empty, some see the glass as half full. I just drink straight out of the bottle.

The only thing is it needs a heat sink to keep from frying. If you already have an electronic distributor it's an easy mod. Plus there's no box on the firewall cluttering things up! That's what the advantage is. R.

Plus there's no box on the firewall cluttering things up! 30 yrs ago I did that swap with the yellow Accell super coil the big yellow beast with NO ballast & it was a killer setup. Accell later wrote me & said to use a .8 ohm ballast with it but I had no failures or misfiring but as you know mixing & matching ign parts can be a crap shoot even with the recommended combos, sometimes you get lucky live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

That's what the advantage is. R. Another advantage is the GM HEI chip is available almost any place, any time, if you have a problem. I have the stock electronic ignition set up on my car, so I'm just going to use an extra plug spliced in to wire in the HEI chip, then I'll have 2 ignition systems available just by unplugging one and plugging in the other. No more getting stuck on the side of the road! Some see the glass as half empty, some see the glass as half full. I just drink straight out of the bottle.
