Anything 75 and up should already have the HEI ignition if still the stock distributor.

Agreed, yours should be HEI already.
However... I will add that my '82, although it was HEI, it had electronic spark control from the factory, which included the distributor. I couldn't get my fresh rebuild to time worth a lick with that thing... so I ditched it, and purchased a standard HEI distributor (aluminium variety) which removed the need for the factory plug for the distributor.
