PROFORM’s HEI distributors are different overall: the other products
evaluated are characterized by crudely manufactured individual components
with machining marks, evidence of rough manufacturing processes, inferior
high-temperature lubricity, and uncontrolled metallurgy (uncontrolled
hardness and inferior metal specifications).
First-rate design and material specifications, plus rigorous
manufacturing controls, explain why PROFORM was awarded the OEM
contract to supply the factory HEI distributor that is sold separately and
used on numerous crate engines.
Each PROFORM distributor is functionally tested individually on a
$75,000 custom-designed testing machine. We don’t ask our customers to
test them for the first time!
The PROFORM HEI features a uniformly hardened, polished shaft to
maximize strength and reliability. Lower cost competitive units were found
to have inconsistent hardness from unit to unit, and even throughout a
given shaft — resulting in deformation and unnecessary, premature
component wear.
PROFORM’s HEI distributors feature a hardened gear which has a final,
highly controlled cut for precision and endurance.
PROFORM HEI’s feature brass bushings with a
self-lubricating feature for greater longevity.
Lower cost competitive units are made of
sub-standard material prone to wear out quickly.
The PROFORM HEI features a cap and coil
made in the U.S.A. The shaft and gears are
manufactured in ISO 9000 certified
manufacturing plants.
PROFORM HEI’s feature hardened weights for
maximum durability and minimized wear.
Low cost competitive units use ordinary metals
that have not been heat treated — resulting in
burrs and other irregularity which will cause
variations when matching the cam.
The PROFORM HEI is superior in appearance to lower cost competitive
units, and it is packaged in full-color boxes loaded with helpful,
self-selling features and benefits.
PROFORM HEI distributors are offered at a competitive, more affordable
WD price, keeping you competitive when selling one of the hottest HEI
distributors with the most genuine product value.
As noted above, PROFORM’s distributor doesn’t cut corners — PROFORM
means performance.
Don’t be fooled — lots of little things add up…and make a genuine
difference in performance, reliability, and durability!
