HEI's are a pain to recurve for performance. They were designed to be on a smog motor and have restricted timing curves. Plus a set of points never left me stranded on the side of the road. I fully plan on pulling the HEI in my Burban and going back to a points distributor. I've got a nice cast iron core under the bench waiting. Just a few hundred things to fix first to do first. Oops! I think the tread is derailing. How did your check of the timing go? Regardless of that we disagree on what works best, we all want you back on the road.
