Yes I do understand. The motor runs nice as is. Yes I could put an HEI in And maybe it will be better. Maybe not. And I do know that distributors prior to 1957 are primitive. Electronic isn't the answer to everything and I am still running 6 volt and no plans to change. Personally I'm not a fan of electronic ignitions. It's not like I take this truck on 500 mile trips. Down the line if I see an issue I will address the issue. I drove it about 15 miles today and it runs great. Very responsive. I have 8 cars running multiple carbs. and not one has any electronic or MSD junk on it and all run good. If a person has unlimited funds all that electronic stuff and A/F meter are fine. Not for me.
