HEI experts, please HELP
HEI experts, please HELP "UPDATE" 4/14/07
My brother has a 84 Chevy PU with a 350. Last year while changing out his intake (We installed my Performer so I could use his Performer RPM which was mismatched for his engine). We found the HEI dist was wasted, the weights and pins were worn through. We installed a AutoZone rebuilt unit. Since then every 4 months it burns up the ignition coil. What would cause this? Thanks in advance for any help. BTW the previous owner was a jerk, this poor truck has been hacked up in every way possible. Why he ever bought this POS, I have no idea. It used to have dual tanks, it's cut out. It has a th350, it used to have a 700R, it needs the low 1st with the 4WD. the list is endless.

It turned out the ground strap was not installed. The new one from NAPA didn’t have one in the box. Luckily my brother had one. Thanks guys for the advise, I have not had much experience with HEI. I learned a valuable lesson today!!!
