Duster360, don't have to run the ballast. However, if you want to keep it for nostalgic reasons you can disassemble the ballast and solder in a wire to bridge the connection and re-install it. It's how my buddies and I run our units. Southernman

Dartbro, IMHO, do the HEI conversion. It's the best time and money you'll spend on your hotrod, and you can kiss ignition issues good bye. One wire for ignition and one wire for the tach. It's one of the first changes I make to a new hotrod. Let us know how it goes. Southernman

I've got a Ron Francis unit I'm getting ready to install in my '63 Belvedere. I've just cut every wire out of the car and should start installing the new harness next week. I'm also closing off all of the holes in the firewall, and running the wires under the drivers side front fender to keep...

Ditto here. Don's first class and his products rock. Great company ! Southernman

Here you go. This link is to Mancini's site where you can buy the entire kit (with the Toyota alternator - they call it a Denso, but it's the Denso used on most Toyotas today) or just the brackets. Once installed, your voltmeter will be extremely steady - so much so, I've had buddies say...

Hey Gold Duster, nice job on that conversion. I've done many myself similar swaps over the years, and they worked great, as long as I didn't expose them to high rpms too much. I now convert my engines to run the Toyota (sorry guys) alternator and Mancini Racing sells the brackets to install...
