    A DUI is plug-n-play, all the recurving, etc. is done for you. Not with a run of the mill HEI though.

    I converted an EF Hei to odd fire. I pulled the dist. out of a 78ish Oldsmobile. New cap and rotor and then bolted it in. Runs great from my experience with no other recurving etc... I've never driven another HEI rig so maybe it could be better but it suits me just fine. ;)
