Help Junkyard coil for HEI distributor?

Sounds like he "originally" has one of the Chinese / down under "white" import "ready to run" distributors. I did not pay attention, I think these use a Holden module or some such

OP: We need piccures.

Also, I remember "vaguely that some of those coils can fool you. You need to make certain which terminal of the coil you are actually hooking to

In the example below:



The top two terminals are the same as the bottom two. In other words you do NOT hook to one top and one bottom terminal.........you hook to EITHER the top two or the bottom two.

If you are trying to use the older 4 pin GM HEI this is the wiring. Module MUST be "flat mounted" for heat to a sink and MUST be grounded through the two screws
