RE: Another ignition issue

[Sean B <polecat2@xxxxxxxx>]

Jeff,

To do the HEI conversion, all you keep is the Mopar distributor.  Unplug 
and remove the ballast resister, and fashion a jumper wire to connect 
the two terminals in the harness that used to go to the ballast 
resister.  You don't use the ballast resister because the HEI module 
wants full voltage at all times.  By bypassing the ballast resister, you 
are giving it full power while cranking and running.  Remove Mopar 
orange box--don't need that either.  You must replace the coil with one 
having very low primary ohms.  I use the chrome Accel 8145C.
