HEI upgrade?
You need a .008" NON magnetic feeler gauge, in other words, brass. I just "ran into" a set of brass ones at O'Reilly's the other day when picking up a larger set to check my valves. The valve set had one brass one -- a 010, the wrong size. Just adjust the pickup coil just as you would points. Be sure to wiggle the shaft and look for play and check when you are "done" that it doesn't have so much wobble or play that the reluctor hits the pickup coil
No, the long way. One side does not matter, as it hooked only to the "box." The two you need to jumper is the one supplying "ignition run" (key in run) and "ignition bypass" (key in start). These are normally dark blue and brown. To be sure, unhook all four, turn the key to "run" and probe the connectors looking for power. The hot one is one you need to connect to.
Now see if you can ID the connector with brown, or try the other three one at a time. Twist the key to start, and the one that lights is the second one you need to connect.
The diagram below is not complete In this diagram, the dark blue "ignition run" is the top right terminal of the ballast. The brown "bypass" circuit IS NOT SHOWN and would connect to the bottom right of the ballast
So the top right and bottom right terminals of the ballast, in this diagram, are the ones to jumper
