my version of the DUI instructions is........don't install unless you want a new motor
"don't install unless you want a new motor" Clearly someone who has very little knowledge and experience with a DUI HEI dissy.
or replied to by someone with no sense of humor
correct I don't......and never will, I think if you search you will find plenty of folks having issues of some sort using the DUI.......but to each his won
but really.......why install a DUI....Toyota fj60 works just great and can work in any F/2f motor
And how many forum members look at your statement and all the vehicles you've owned and do not see your humor but assume you know what you're talking about. The vast majority of issues with HEI ignitions have to do with people using ones that have the wrong gear (not DUI) and have an advance curve for another vehicle (also not DUI). Out of the box a DUI HEI has been plug and play in my vehicle for over 4 years with no issues. I won't bother going into the availability and cost of replacement parts vs. an FJ60 dissy.

I was a believer in the 60 & the smaller electronic dizzys for years.. but here lately I'm seeing a lot of them fail.. mostly due to " pickup coil melt down" the cause? improper cap ventilation.. some shops or owners themselves are de-smogging,changing carbs and or air cleaners... some plug the vent holes in the dizzy cap causing HC from the crankcase to linger thus melting the pickup coil..or leaving the holes open inviting moisture to enter and rusting the weights, springs,signal rotor and vacuum advance movement mechanisms.. all of the above is $$$$ to repair,plus it could and does happen again... So one solution to the weak points of the yota dizzy.. is the DUI.. Crankcase HCs have no effect on the internals of the DUI... I have run one for 5+ years with no ill side effects and have encouraged all with yota problems to make the change... so far it has been 100% in favor... there must be at least 18 in my area within the last 2 years...
After seeing these pickups fail, I had the feeling the HCs were the problem..but a couple of weeks ago I read a post that JimC stated it was in the chemical compound makeup of these parts that HCs turned them into a jelly like substance..then I ask him if new replacements were better? he said no. I had ask my local dealer if they had any knowledge about this problem? He just drew a blank face and started sweating bullets...

I've got a correct-geared HEI in my 2F and I love it. I've got the recurve kit and I've dialed in to something that works very well for me.
Unfortunately, I have to remove it for smog. So if anyone wants it, make me an offer. I am NOT looking forward to points again.
The reason I went HEI over Toyota was partially cost and partially accesories. I can go into any catalog and get stuff that will build up an insane HEI. If I were to do it again (and it would be legal), I honestly don't know which I'd choose.
