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 !

Chances are they carry thr exact part labeled above, use the part number to search .
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.

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 ?

Anyone that changes their car looking for some increased power , reliability , accessibility, performance of any kinda is ... just trying to impress somebody, or heard something from a...
I'm pretty sure what he did was tap off B+ of the starter relay, then he has added another seperate relay to power the hei . He used the original blue ign wire to trigger the relay for key on power.
So the high current doesn't go threw factory blue wire anymore it's drawn from the starter...
I know I have been slow on the updates.
I got out today and did a compression check before I put the plugs and wires back on.
