I saw at one time someone had posted a link to an electronic ignition conversion other than pertronix. The company also made reproduction wiring harnesses and seemed good quality. Does anybody know what i'm referring to?

Thanks Rocknrod . Actually found the one i was looking for. M&H electrical fabrications but they look to be about the same in quality. Has anyone had any experience with either of these companies?

I have purchase electrical parts from lectric limited. And I have read dozens of posts where member liked M&H product quality. Never read anything on their distributor setup though.

A conversion to HEI is about as simple as disconnecting the wire from the solenoid, dropping the HEI, and running a 12AWG switched wire.
Might want to search the internet on HEI conversion.

But you gotta have a distributor to convert to. I don't want to use a GM distributor as I'd like to keep the stock look. That's why I'm looking at conversions.
