Got the HEI kit installed today, took my time and had it all installed in about an hour after having some issues with soldering the power wire. I also installed some new plugs, gapped them at .045" and fired it up. First time it fired up quick but, as the directions stated, if it runs crappy or not at all, swap the pickup wires and try again...and it ran pretty crappy, sounded as though the timing was way off. After swapping, crimping, and sealing the wires, it's all better. I haven't had opportunity to open it up really due to weather around here today, but it runs well and starts up quickly-even when cold.
The only thing I wasn't overly pleased with was having to install a new crimp terminal on the tach lead...the installed one fell off when I was moving the wiring around...about 30 seconds worth of work and I was back in business.
In a nutshell, I'm happy with it. Thanks TrailBeast!
