I've run a bunch on AMC v8's. I've run two with divorced coils on magnum 5.9's.

gonna get alot of hate for gm style HEI but its a great unit with great parts availability!! i got one for when i ever get around to my build!!
I am in the process of installing one now on my 63 Belvedere.
The car still had the points so I figured,what the heck never did one might as well. Always learning.
Did many of the 73-up conversions from Ma Mopar.Also Lots of Pertronix conversions.
I am waiting as I am not too sure of what coil I should use, also along with running a ballast or not.
Looks like a .7 or less like a .32 Ohm coil is used without ballast.
This all started as my Accel # 8140 coil took a dump after only 1700 miles of use.

Your not going to run the coil that comes with the big hei distributor.
Nope more like the Pertronix Flame Thrower III. Canister type @ .32 ohms.
I guess I should say I am using the 73-up Distributor and only the HEI module.
I like to experiment when I can. I also ordered a .700 Ohm for ***** and giggles.
The Accel 8140 is a 1.5 ohm stock replacement for points or electronic ignitions.
I have used dozens of them over the years. This is the first one that failed.

I stab these in everything. I can't stand that big clunky cap, Even on gm's. Chrysler 273-360 c.i. SB Compatible ProSeries Ready to Run Distributor - Black Cap

kinda looks like a knock off of the msd unit.
They make standard cap sized HEI distributors.
As does every "Pro billet" distributor.

The Poly in my 64 B has a Mopar Electronic that works well now that I have some good parts (from @halifaxhops )
Yeah, but yall's are half the price and just as nice. I have one on the shelf. ;)
