I installed a Streetfire HEI distributor on my pickup last year when I put a goodwrench 350 in. I haven't driven a huge amount of miles, but I haven't had any problems yet. It was a big improvement over points. My old points distributor had the timing moving around at idle when I checked the timing. This one is nice and steady with seems to start up faster. I just removed the resistor wire from the harness and replaced it with a 12 gauge wire with the proper connector. It's an easy project.

I installed an Accel blueprinted HEI on my Chevelle about 20 years ago. It's still working perfectly.
