Re: HEI issues?

Davis Unified Ignitions custom makes their distributors for each application. They have to know the vehicle, engine size, vintage, type of driving done, and then they build their distributors... I looked at one in a Jeep pickup. It's an overbuilt HEI with heatshrink on the wire ends of the plug and cap boots. Quite expensive. They even make a GM-style HEI for Fords.
The ambiguity of their initials is no coincidence. The company makes its major money off supplying court-ordered ignition breath-a-lyser interrupters for drunk driving offenders.
