Keeping it Mopar Ignition Upgrade Cheap
Shouldn't take much to verify. Simply power up and spin the distributor by hand and see if it sparks. You do need to ground the distributor body to BATT-. Also twist the pickup wires for shielding. Run a spark tester right off the coil lead.
The 85-95 trucks I mentioned have the 8-pin HEI modules. Also termed "small cap distributor". As I stated, you just unplug and take the GM cable which runs from the module to coil. It is Weather-pack connectors. The other 2 connectors you snip off w/ extra wire (fun to molest GM vehicles). Many photos on-line if you search, including mine here.
Not usurping TrailBeast's business. I described this all a month or so before he started his ClassicHEI as far as I can tell. Not my idea, I got it all off the megasquirt site and others.
Not the point Bill,
The point is that not everyone is capable of going to a yard, pulling the right the parts, assembling them correctly making the car run.
The part I get kind of annoyed about is that it is made to sound so easy and nothing to it.
Then they try it and thier car doesn't run for days because of some simple reason that you, I and a handfull of other people here could easily find if we were there with it instead of looking at a fuzzy picture and not even knowing for sure what was used for a ground.
As far as my business part of it, I don't care if others do it, or if others tell others how.
I know that some people can't do it, or don't want to try it, and those are mine.
I try to help people on here that try it and can't make em run for whatever reason. (including sending them wire diagrams and pictures)
I only sell assembled ready to run kits to have some extra money for things I want or need for my own car, and if not for that reason I probably wouldn't build them at all.
Please know that I harbor no ill will towards you about this at all, and that I will continue to help as much as I can when people need it.
But when someone says "Bill told me that it was really easy" I'm going to be really tempted to suggest they contact you, so you can spend your time on it. :D
