Surge problem at speed

go back to points and try it. Should be about a $15 experiment and youll have a spare in the trunk if the HEI/ECU/pick up fails again. electronic distributors are super simple but trying to figure out a random miss is far easier with an uber simple Kettering (points) distributor

Yes, exactly what I was just thinking. Pop a points distributor into it, they run nice on their own. Great for diagnostics.

I use the points distributor on my engines on the run stand, one less thing to go wrong on first start ups and break ins.
