...and I can just run a short bypass wire on my ballast resistor to maintain the look while using an internally resisted coil or HEI coil? Increase my plug gap to 45 thous and I'm good to go...yes?:coffee2:
There are a few common and possible issue's that cause problems, but as long as they are chked or at least considered if there is a problem your good.
They MUST have a good ground. (even the one pictured above)
They MUST have a good strong 12+ volts
The distributor reluctor must be in working order.
Is the HEI spark going to come right out of the side of your old wires?
Is the spark going to go right through the middle of the rotor to distr shaft?
