I am running male hei type distributer an i cant figure out what wire goes to my distributer? In the pictures there is a black,brown,blue,green an a black wire that has like brownish or goldish faded color with it that has a insert at the end
Never heard of a male type hei. What was in it before? All you need is ign source (+ with key on). And tach if you have tach. If u have a test light. Try each wire for + with key on. If you find one then test it while cranking. If it no light up for crank then find another wire. If you dont have an availbe wire in your hand there. You can run a wire from the acc spot on fuse box. As long as its not hot with key off
This is the distributer im using not sure what was used before i bought the car without motor an transmission saved it from the crusher i got a hell of a deal on it straight body everything there interior ect. But wiring is kicking my ass. The wiring an harness is all there just some of the wires were cut an made everything harder i have wiring diagrams 72 Manuel skylark book but not giving me everything i need. Are you saying find a wire that has + with key on an im able to use it for my distributer
Is that a small block Chevy? The big red wire is the 12 volt feed. The other ones go to the module inside the distributor. Your car had a points type unit before. 12 volts to start and 8 volts to run with a resistor wire. Youll need to find a 10-15 amp 12 volt supply to fire the HEI.
