The Hei has a lower and upper bearing, so you have a more precise shaft. But the real advantage is the voltage without a box and a bigger cap. Everything is one built in unit. Works well. I feel that the HEI Chevy type distributors will handle high rpm better than the Mopar distributors and have shown it to be true on the dyno a couple of times. Hey even the new Magnum heads from Eddy have Chevy rockers... What ever it takes. Earl personally, i find the hei idea interesting, i mean who came up with this anyway? and what were they smoking? it takes some real imagination to think of installing that system, is it any more ridiculous than someone "hiding" there electronic wires to give the appearance of points? i'm afraid i missed something with the alternator though, why not mopar? tom 65 satellite Doug Ahern Both ign. systems work and to each his own. but is there a big win for the HEI route? Some components are constant here... the distributor is the same and so is the fact that you have to round up a propietary connector/wiring either ina junkyard or new (new availability of harness: mopar=yes, HEI=? ) price of ECU vs. HEI module? thats not too different. maybe $20. The *best* ECU for the street is the Orange box. The chrome box and the gold box are race only items. So prices for the two seem to be the same, Mancini sells these for: $20 for the mancini "blue box". $43 for the Orange box. $47 for the Orange box + lightweight dist. springs for a recurve... I don't know anything about the Mancini "blue box", but I bet its as good as the Orange box. So $20 if you like blue, $43 if you like orange. wiring? both the HEI and the ECU have 4 wires coming out of it. 2 go to the distributor, 2 go elsewhere.... its the same right? space/weight savings? even if the HEI is smaller, you still have to dedicate about 3x5" to it somewhere... roughly the same size as an ECU. So what does it come down to? and if the answer is "they are the same, HEI its just an alternative...", well thats fine.
