35, 50, 70 ft/lbs. Using the torque sequence in the FSM. I also used the supplied ARP bolt lubricant and followed the directions for application to the washers and threads

Well it RUNS ! I started up the car today. It fired right away, I ran it for a few seconds, shut it off and went to check for any fluid leaks. Everything is great, except an unrelated problem. My power steering hose is leaking from the crimped connection on top of the power steering box. Not...

Pull the cap , hook up the coil wire to the cap. Now find something to touch the center pin and try and make it jump to one of the plug contacts . Becareful !

Can you post some pictures of the rotor / cap? Are you sure the metal tab of rotor is making contact with center/ coil contact of the distributor

It seems to be related to modifying motorcycles with the use of an HEI module , but some info that I have never read before . General Motors HEI Ignition Modules http://gpzweb.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Ignition/HeiModules/Hei4pinDR100moduleNotes.txt

Found this very interesting page/ article its a bit of long read but explains some of the problems u and others may be having ! I'm trying to post the link but it's not letting me... but this is the part that caught my eye. Using a lower-resistance coil can activate the current-limiter, which...

Did you have the dash out to hook up the washer switch or was it just wiring under the hood for the bottle?

@Coelacanth thank you again for the comments and review ! It's great to be able to do a side by side comparison with the aftermarket ones !

Well 12.7 is definitely a problem. You should be at least 13.6 range. I know you said your going to start another thread about it. But have you upgraded your alternator , to handle all the new toys? You can also check what kind of volts your getting for power feed to the HEI.

You are grouding the module correct ?

@zombezoo those wires really pop ! The wire looms that your using, what are those bolted to ? It doesn't look like valve cover bolts like other ones I have seen. @RJ Squirrel that is a serious heat sink you got there ! I don't think you should be worried about that moduel holding any...

I use digikey to track down my latest hard to find terminals. Their catalog is massive, so have some measurements of the terminals you are looking so you can narrow your search. Chances are they carry thr exact part labeled above, use the part number to search .

Are talking about a heat sink for your coil or the one you added to my 3d print for the module ?

Yawn............... anyway I can't be bothered, have the sand box to yourself. I'm glad that the OP has fixed his problem and is moving on to his next project. Look forward to helping him and other members if I can.

No need to criticize your perspective ? Did you not just come into this thread mocking the setup, and people that are involved in it? So its ok for you to criticize? How hypocritical can u be ? I never criticized anything, other than your personality . You want to keep your point system...
