Well I got frustrated and mad. I pull everything apart and decisided to start rewiring for HEI. Just not sure how to wire the run, start and alternator wires with/for the HEI. Thank you for all the answers. Sorry to cause a stir.
Hope you have not bought yourself more trouble. Which HEI are you going to use? Basically you need to find the bypass wire coming out of the bulkhead which went to the coil + side of the ballast and wire that to the ignition run wire.
When you get done, there are several things that should all be junctioned together:
Coming out of bulkhead:
Igniton run
Bypass
both of those hooked to
Alternator field
regulator IGN
coil+
HEI +
choke heater if used
Make sure you check that "ignition run" does not have voltage drop. If it does, repair bulhead connector, ignition switch if it does, or else use a relay to "fix."
Wiring for 4 terminal HEI. Pay attention to polarity for distributor connector, or rotor phasing will be "off"
