Picking up from !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , Small update on the pickup, spend the past week sanding and prepping all the sheet metal. With the cab now painted it was time to mask off the top and all the exterior metal to get read y to paint the firewall, cab interior, bed interior, jambs, steering column, ash tray, glove box lid and door panels. Will be loading the parts up on Tuesday to take to the paint booth. This time next weekend there will finally be some blue paint on the truck!
Once done with all the masking, worked a little on the motor. Put a fresh set of plugs in the motor. Also swapped out the big HEI distributor that was in the truck back to stock style points, also installed a new set of plug wires. Motor is just about ready done until the cab is back on the frame.

this may sound stupid, but wouldn’t a HEI distributor be better than a points type one?
for more consistent starting etc.

Its kind of a preference thing, I prefer points. My other classics all run points and have never had issues with them. The HEI works fine, but it interferes with almost everything on the truck. It was super tight to the firewall before and most air cleaners interfere with it. It had a junky air cleaner on it before to mainly clear it.

For a mild engine, you can’t beat points ignition
