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 or this is what an HEI Distributor cap looks like

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
