I got one of those DUI distributor/coil combos. That what you got?
If so how's it working out for you?

Re: hooking up plug wires on distributor
I picked up a unit from an 82' chevy truck with a 250 from a bone yard.
Cleaned it up, put a few new parts on it... got about $100 in it all. Works
great.... very smooth, much less complicated, tossed out the "brain box".

Re: hooking up plug wires on distributor
I have been working long hours and lurk when I can, I have worked 400
hours OT this year so far and I worked about 1000 hours last year.
Good to hear about the HEI I know it made a world of difference on my
old tired 258, if I was Shaggie I would consider it since he is
redoing his distributor anyways.
I was here a week or so ago and posted a Q when I was redoing my leaf
springs, I went with new springs from a local spring shop and wow what
a difference it made. With the 1" body lift it sits real pretty now.
I'm waiting on all new stainless hinges and a stainless hood kit and
once that arrives I have a local body shop that will paint it for
$1000 if I bring it in stripped down.

Re: hooking up plug wires on distributor
I have been working long hours and lurk when I can, I have worked 400
hours OT this year so far and I worked about 1000 hours last year.
Good to hear about the HEI I know it made a world of difference on my
old tired 258, if I was Shaggie I would consider it since he is
redoing his distributor anyways.
I was here a week or so ago and posted a Q when I was redoing my leaf
springs, I went with new springs from a local spring shop and wow what
a difference it made. With the 1" body lift it sits real pretty now.
I'm waiting on all new stainless hinges and a stainless hood kit and
once that arrives I have a local body shop that will paint it for
$1000 if I bring it in stripped down.
