Finishing the engine build on my 72, mild 383. I had posted months ago about the distributor and decided on the pertronix conversion, good reviews from members. Bought the pertronix 1, their coil and wires. While rebuilding my quadrajet, was speaking to Cliff Ruggles from Cliffs high performance and he had nothing but bad things to say about the pertronix, that it WILL fail. He advised sending my points distributor to him and having him build it. I plan on getting a new engine wire harness and now thinking about a harness already set up for HEI, and probably converting the alternator to internally regulated with a conversion harness.

Whats everyone's opinon? Cliff built points, pertronix, or HEI?
