Hei conversion from pints need help... what am I doing wrong.

cawcislo said
I do not have a mopar Ecu. It’s stock mopar points ignition. Using 4 pin hei module. Wiring comes from Mopar HEI Conversion. Which is where I got the bracket from. I did not bypass the ballast resistor. Since I’m still running the stock canister coil I need the resistor. Once I swap to the ecoil I will bypass the ballast resistor. But I don’t want to do too many swaps at once until I know this hei conversion works.

I will try to swap wires that are powering the hei module that I ran to my coil.

You do not need the resistor, and it SOUNDS like you wired the HEI to the coil+? If so the HEI is running on reduced voltage, as well My car is apart, but I ran it for two summers, the original old coil with no ballast. HEI varies the dwell electronically, and it seems not to hurt anything. If however you elect to keep the resistor for now, at least move the HEI power + wire to the "key" side of the ballast
