We have finally decided to quit on the shitheap and Mrs BD will be using the Chief once the 6 seat conversion is done (unless we find a 7 seat ZJ/WJ in the the meantime), so i need to invest some cash in reliabilty after the fuel tanks are swapped over.

Im thinkin the start needs to be HEI dizzy with at least 8mm leads, plus a new coil, so at this point I have a few questions:

Is the DUI dizzy really worth the $300 without leads over the $139 with leads for a HEI dizzy?

And if not is a $50 master blaster II coil worth that sorta cash?

Have been reading about the HEI's that have hardened steel gears that chew up the factory cam gears - a likely fact or usual US forum doom mongers?

Any other thoughts?

Remember, this isnt about off road capability, altho I will still be using it off road, but about it starting each morning, running smoothly, and not stopping during the journey.

As usual, cheers doods

hei replaces the coil dumbass

[Nosebolt]

the std dizzy has steel gears, well the 2 I have here do

[Bulldog67]

hei replaces the coil dumbass

cool, readin thru the specs on 4wd they mention the coil bein in the dui but not the hei so i made the assumption ...........

[Bubba]

DUI IS HEI  tweked and assembled by a firm called davis

[Bulldog67]

i see, so basically not worth the extra

[wildwood]

Davis Unified ignition or some'at like that.

Meant to give 50thou of spark and stuff..........somewhere in the JP mags you got is an article of how they put DUI on a POS and made it run and give more MPG......

[Bubba]

yup dui is sexy hei is still miles better than the weak spark of stock set up

[Bulldog67]

including leads im lookin at $260 extra for dui, and that could go towards hedmans, so i reckon that means hei it is

[wildwood]

Sort sparks and carb first................. headers are nice but only once the rest is sorted............... free flow exhaust system with H pipe will get you same bang for buck.

Headers might even lose you some torque thingies due to less back pressure............. the more knowledgeable might agree  or...........maybe I is wrong???

[Bulldog67]

waitin for the holley 670 truck avenger to land on my door step

and tbh thort hedmans were a must 

[Bubba]

the stock exhaust with better muffler is actualy very good for an all around daily truck  amc paid a lot of folk to spend a a lot of time dreaming up the best all situation exhaust USE IT

[Bulldog67]

im havin mintys twin exhaust set up coz he dont like it coz its too noisy

[wildwood]

After 150 miles to CF you'll also not like the noise.......... tis wearing on the nerves, after a while.......... here speaketh a biker who used to relish loud pipes.......and now has 20% less hearing in right ear........ or maybe that was music

also mrs malibu stacy may find harsh on her delicate ears
