Hei vs points.

The other little interesting tidbit is that if you have a Mopar breakerless system and a spare points distro, you don't even need to change anything to drop the points in.

Let's "say" the ECU goes bad. All you need do is drop in the points dist, unplug the ECU and hook the points wire to the coil neg. The resistor is hooked up the same. Not a bad idea to carry a spare resistor.

I like HEI modules. I used one on mine with no resistor, stock coil.
Or you can just carry a spare ecu in the glove box.
