If the truck was converted from points to HEI, was the resistance wire replaced with at least a 12ga wire to the BAT terminal on the HEI coil from the fuse block? I think the original wire for points is yellow, this wire is too small and will cause premature failure of the ignition module in the HEI distributor.
