Has anyone used this kit or something similar? Do I need all of the kit?

As someone said above, I doubt the HEI is your problem. It was a very good design, and still is. And parts are cheap and available everywhere.
I don't understand the comment above about using a relay, because an HEI is wired to get full battery voltage, minus any losses through wire, switches and connectors, of course.
