HEI in a Mopar?
The answer is YES.
1---There are a number of different aftermarket HEI distributor setups
2---You can use TBs setup above, which gives you capability of electronic spark control
3---You can also do it "on the cheap" like I did and use the older 4 terminal HEI module, also uses your original OEM Mopar breakerless distributor, and you can even use (I am) a stock factory coil.
So.......there are a number of ways to "skin a cat."
Mine:
Mount the module to flat sheet metal or a heat sink, use the supplied thermal compound, and ground it with the mounting screws. Make absolutely sure that the distributor is wired as per polarity shown. No need for a ballast resistor. Hook the original ballast resistor wiring together and you can leave the factory coil+ wire in place
I also put a spare in a box with a coil when I wanted to fire a couple of used engines, and it also became my "trunk spare." Just hook up two clip leads, ground and battery, plug in the coil wire and distributor, and you have ignition
