Just bought this HEI unit on eBay. I'd like to be prepared for when it arrives. New plugs and wires are on the list. Are HEI wires different than points plug wires? any other suggestions? thanks in advance.

Re: HEI conversion prep

What year of truck are you putting this in?

Yes the plug wires are different between hei and points.

Re: HEI conversion prep

the truck is a 1973 454. I suppose I will have to ask for plugs and wires for a 1975 or newer truck since HEI wasnt available till '75 (if memory serves me correctly).
