Welcome. HEI is a pretty simple wire up. Make sure you bypass the ballast and use the correct coil.

I wish I could help you more, I do not have documentation on the trucks. I believe there is a writeup over at slant6.org about this as applied to passenger cars Basically you are going to need a non lean burn Mopar distributor, or some other distributor of your choice like MSD. I believe there is a relay that originally selects which pickup is connected at which times, by the lean burn. You'll have to reconnect the pickup direct to the new box, whichever you use.

Part of the dilemma might be how the truck is wired. Older Mopars had a contact on the ignition switch for coil ballast bypass but some of the newer stuff had a separate contact on the start relay. Look at your start relay. Doe sit have 4 total terminals or 5?

You have a wiring diagram? Can you post snips out of it or a link?
