I guess my original bewilderment was why the best performance HEI I 
could find was only $45.00, while the best performance Mopar boxes are 
double that, and more.  The performance HEI unit CLAIMS to increase 
spark by 67%, but that sounds like fish story to me.  They also claim 
you can increase your spark plug gap to .055.

I know what you're saying.  Trust me, my tired old Poly would never know 
the difference!
