 If I do the BFH thing I'm at least going to try and make it look nice, I'm
 not going to have this huge crater behind the engine.
 Although I wasn't looking for one the last time I was at the wrecking yard
 I don't remember seeing any HEI units (that had all their parts (excluding
 the cap and rotor of course)) the last time I was there. Were all the  
 HEI units the same from whenever they started making them to when they 
 stopped? I'm talking about the large cap units with the coil mounted in the
 middle. And will they be the same on any GM car or will it have minor
 differences that would make it hard of difficult to stick in a Chevy 350?
 I checked out your Web page the other night, cool page. Any idea when you
 are going to have the Q-Jet section running?
