Re: Patron Saint of Broke Down Chevy Trucks?

In the past with (cheap) points I have had failures. I had a rubbing block break off as well as condensers short out. Had to change them on the side of the road. I switched to BlueStreak and that didn't happen again. I also had a coil internally short and become very weak. Made it home with that barely.

I know. I know I shouldn't say this....I have always made it home with HEI....though one time it did die in the street right in front of the house and I had to push the truck up the drive....Dang Longhorns are heavy!
