HEI Problems

What do you mean "the coil side?" Here is a basic diagram, 4 pin?

Also NOTICE the specific hookup on the pickup........It must be so, or the relationship between the trigger and rotor will be "off" causing "rotor phasing" problems. You can Google that

With key in "run" or in "start" there should be battery voltage at coil+ and at the indicated terminal on the HEI (top left)

Sorry I meant to say 1.31v on the distributor side of the modulator . I'm actually getting 12.4v on the coil side of the modulator
