There would be a steel resistance wire or some sort of ballast resistor to limit incoming voltage from the key to the hot side of the coil. That would need to be eliminated when switching to HEI. Also, HEI requires minimum 8MM spark plug wires. Then just switch distributors or install the HEI module in the original distributor, and you're good to go.
The ignition switch should be separate from the ignition key/lock assembly, so I'll say no.
Are you talking about the electronic ignition module or the ignition switch? The ignition module sits in the engine compartment and is part of the ignition system (coil, spark plugs, etc). The answer is no if this about what you're referring. The answer for the ignition switch will depend on the vehicle you have. Some, like late model Fords, you don't. Push in the retaining pin and the ignition switch comes right out (you still need a key though). Others you need to take off the steering wheel to replace the switch.
The ignition coil is the transformer that puts out the voltage required to make a spark jump the points of a spark plug. this in turn lights the petrol which pushed down the piston.
need to change ignition switch
No, not if it is not defective. If the ignition switch is defective then that is all you need to replace.
No summit will sale you a kit
Need to know what year the vehicle is and is it still a points car or is it electronic ignition.
well you first need to tell someone is it electronic ignition or dose it have points ??
Hate to answer a Q with a Q but WHOSE timing? Valve, cam, ignition? Need to be more specific. If I ASSUME ignition timing then it still requires more info as the type e.g. breaker points or electronic? Clarify the Q and answers can be rendered.
You can use the same flywheel but need to put in a complete solid state ignition set up. http://store.chainsawr.com/
If you havent already got one you will need to put an electronic ignition box on the truck. They're pretty easy to install.

Constant voltage delivery Eliminate the need for periodic replacement of points and condensor

i need the bracket that the ignition cylinder slides into.... the piece that mounts to the stering column

The electronic engine unit is located underneath the passenger glove compartment,you will need to remove the underside cover(3 screws and one nut)
