Don,

I know, I know.  But for years I have seen GM and Ford cars at the drags 
running good ol' Mopar breathers in their valve covers.  When I kid them 
about it, they usually just shrug their shoulders and say something like 
'it works for me.'

I am a die-hard Mopar fan, but I am not rich.  If I could dump twenty 
grand in my car, I wouldn't look at anything if it didn't have pentastar 
on the box.  But life has taught me to look at all options for a 
possibly cheaper and/or better way.

Nothing is cheaper than an HEI module, or easier to find.  However, 
since Mopar's is bigger and uses more parts, I understand it is probably 
better, somehow.  But my electronic conversion is compact, reliable, and 
cost me fifty bucks.  Plus, I don't have to worry about the ballast 
resistor failing.  Who's gonna tell me that doesn't happen?  (Speaking 
of which, one of the plugs to mine was melted--can anybody tell me if I 
should be worried about anything?)  Further, when I put an A/C and 
heater unit under my dash, I'll be glad I only have to find room for the 
little HEI unit, instead of that big Mopar box.  I just searched the 
internet for a high performance HEI module.  The most expensive one was 
$45.00!!  The Mopar HP boxes are a lot more, but are they worth it?  I 
am asking, I don't know, but would like to.

As for the alternator, if you guys know of a compact, 
internally-regulated Mopar alternator that puts out a lot of power at 
low RPM's, I'm all for it!  Please e-mail me.

But there must be a reason why Mopar-leaning companies are selling 
bracket kits for the Toyota unit.

It took me thirteen years of searching to find a 64-65 Plymouth B-body 
hardtop that was in good shape, and not priced out of this world.  Now, 
if I was going to put, say, a Buick engine in it, THAT would be bad.  
But, I tell you what, I am considering my friend's Ford wheels, because 
they look great!
