Fughin Chinese HEI distributor was the whole fughin problem. It's running great now.
Dang the HEI is good if built properly.
I think i still have 1 or2 built that we used in the racecar.
Real bearings and a good stable advance curve.
Chevy used to have an upgraded chip for them that worked up to 7k
Magsrus , Mags r us built a good one years ago as well as racing mags. He also had a good chip for the 1 wire HEI

Jacobs racing wires were a good source for make yourself wires.

Now you know as much as i do, consider yourself special.

When the bushings are true and snug they don't spark scatter and keep a good strong spark.
The brain/chip is the trick. Depending on intended RPM you can use one of three GM chips
Aftermarket chips were a gamble but i would think they would be better compared to the ones from 20+ years ago.

Is this a truck/work motor or a fun motor?

So one of the brand new apprentices comes back in the school after dismissal and says i have a flat tire. Couple of us went out to help him out. Didn't expect to see this. Maybe @redline4 homies could help him out with a alignment?View attachment 423492
