Default Re: What to use for ignition high HP engine???

Back in the day, I put a Delco-Remy CD ignition kit on my 427 car. Eventually it died and I went back to D112P HD Delco points in the stock distributor. When we bought our 396 car in '97, it had an HEI that eventually died. There again I went back to HD points in a good Delco distributor and the car starts and runs fine. Blue Streak make good HD points as well. The points system provided plenty of spark for the L72 and L78 and these engines aren't shy on rpm potential either. I've never seen any reason to go to anything else.
