Ha! I didn’t know it actually changed the timing advance curves. That would explain the difference in feel I experienced more than it having a “hotter spark” did.
Oops. That’s the link for the replacement module. This is the link to the HEI ignition system

Purists will disagree but the premise is upgrading your ignition system with more modern components creates a hotter/more reliable spark which in turn combusts fuel better which in turn makes your vehicle start and run better. Manafre sells one called Lightning Strike. I drove a 60 with this in...
I think your plan is a good one for a few reasons.
for one it’s easier to remove the 3m tape for full repair than it would be to cut out a bad weld and do over
for two you’ll probably get a better seal out of the tape. Especially without welding skills.
Hey! The truck is in the shop at the moment. Doing an LS swap because hauling around 5 kids and all our gear was getting to be problematic. I’ll get some photos as soon as I get the truck back though
I've heard there's a guy next to the Blue Grouse who runs a shop/truck rental place who will let you use his garage/lift for a small monthly fee. I think it's called Pauls Auto Care?
Tor put a third row + seatbelts in mine. Pretty sure the seat is just a rear seat from a Jeep. I’ve got 5 kids and we pile everyone in all the time. The seat folds and tumbles forward when not in use and I can remove it easily when I want. I’ll get some more pics tomorrow if interested
