"They will support better components in the future I guess. The caps dont fit right, the gear is cut very different, and the weights flop around. I put in a regular old GM HEI readjusted the q jet to the new dizzy and gained 50 HP probably."
Hey, at least they are nice and shiny and look cool under the hood.
Seriously you found out why I will not touch any aftermarket HEI clones for any reason. Nothing but pure JUNK!
I'll sort thru the core pile till I find a stone stock one with a good lower bushing and shaft and make a few minor changes to the advance mechanism and good to go for about 30-40 years or so. By the time it develops an issue nobody reading this is much gonna give a chit anyhow!.........FWIW.....
