I used an HEI module only on my 440 with the stock distributor. A standard HEI distributor just needs 12v power to the terminal on the cap saying BAT. Plug your tach into the other one. I have an HEI in my son's 460 in his rat rod. Same deal. No ballast resistors or ignition boxes any longer.

So the last guy who had the car put an external 4 pin module on the firewall and I believe he tried to bypass the ballast resistor. The ballast resistor is still there with wires connected but not sure if it’s doing anything. So the old electronic ignition distributor has the 2 wires connected from somewhere I’m not sure. I believe I take those wires and pigtail it to the hot part of new coil. Does that seem right?
