Points or HEI

Dumb Q #...ahh, lost count. How do I know which I have? I also need to change out my plugs and wires, which type of wires will be best for my SB350?

Thanks!

Re: Points or HEI

the easiest way to find out is look at the side of the cap and if there is a metal slide door it will be points.

Or you can pull the cap and have a look and if it looks like this then its got points

Re: Points or HEI

Junkie,95% of women would just ask,"Can you tune my car?"(They would not have a truck).You on the other hand,have always asked how do I do this or how do I make sure it's done well.

I know you don't always do everything yourself but at least you are smart enough to research the task to know enough to make a good decision about it.

Re: Points or HEI

If you still have a points now would be a good time to do the easy conversion to HEI. Strongly recommend it, more spark-no maintenance.

Re: Points or HEI

HEI! I thought I had it converted over years ago, but couldnt remember. My truck has been in the paint shop for almost 3 years, then sitting with little time for me to do anything to it for almost a year. I have forgotten so much its sad.

Thanks yall
