Just wondering if anyone has used one and if they have how well do they work. I am in the process of ditching the CFI and going carb so I am researching parts at this point.

A couple of years ago i done the swap from cfi to carb. I got a points type ford distributor and installed the points eliminator kit from pertronics, it was an easy conversion and still works great.

A user here called Sum_Weirdo (may or may not have the underscore) has an HEI distributor in his car

My ears are burning. I installed a Procomp HEI in my Bird during the engine rebuild. With some MSD 8.5 MM wires. It was a simple install, just plunk it in the block and then I connected its power wire to a relay I attached to the firewall. I triggered the relay with the factory coil wire and routed power directly off the starter relay with some good gauge wire. Hasn't given me any trouble.
