That way the points won't burn up so fast.

If you were not using the injectors you could replace the IP with a distributor & maybe put spark plugs in the GP holes.
Haha cool idea. I'm an amateur, so how would the HEI be driven, by putting a wheel on the little gear that usually drives it and attaching the AC belt? Wouldn't firing the plugs every other time waste fuel?

The only thing I thought of with putting spark plugs in the GP holes was that there is a prechamber in the engine, and I was unsure if igniting the cylinder through that was wise.
