What’s better HEI or points?
“We recommend converting to an electronic ignition on a musclecar engine over a point-type ignition system for several reasons. Also, HEIs allow full alternator voltage to go through the ignition system, which with our 50,000-volt coil allows larger plug gaps for better combustion and more power.
