Kudos to the board

Finished the HEI install on the truck last night. Went off without a hitch thanks to the wealth of information found on this website.

Do I need different plugs or a different gap for my HEI? I just put a new accel in with a new stock coil and new wires and its a big difference.

That's correct. Points should have .035, HEI uses .045.
