HEI is a different system, not just a different control unit. For it to work correctly the entire circuit is converted over.
Does it have enough advantages to make it worth your time and money? If you can keep the proper timing curve, maybe yes.
As far as Delco providing genuine OEM GM quality, sadly, no. The retail parts sold by AC Delco and Delco-Remy no longer are OEM quality replacements.
This was bought in 2019 came in a box with the correct GM part number
I didn't notice the cockeyed output terminal until on the last leg of a 600 mile trip, the ammeter swung over to discharge. A quick check showed the output wire was loose.

Junk!

This is not the type of out-of- spec that that would occur in modern OEM parts. This sort of BS was addressed in the 1980s with the adoption of statistical quality control throughout the supply chain.
I got lucky, and it didn't short the battery and melt the fusible link.
