Can anyone tell me how to hook up a GM HEI to my Allen Syncrograph? I suspect I need some type of pulse amplifier. Here is what happens; I run 12v power to the power wire on the 3 pin plug & hook up the signal wire from the syncrograph to the trigger wire on the HEI plug and run the ground to the distributor body. The machine will strobe for a few seconds then go out. I can disconnect & reconnect the power (or ground) and repeat with the same results? I know the Sun machines had an amplifier that could be used with electronic distibutors. Can I use one of these with my machine? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I know this won't be the only HEI I see.
i've seen them for sale on Ebay , i have been thinking about getting one for my distributor machine http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Sun-...Z170426589166QQptZMotorsQ5fAutomotiveQ5fTools
No, it doesn't work the same way. That has been the terminal I was trying. I only get enough signal to light the machine for a second or two the it fades out.

Guys, I just found Allen Operating Instructions for a Model E-316 syncrograph and some other Allen test equipment. Wished I would have loaded the syncrograph machine out of that old shop, but it was nearly destroyed as it sat. It is likely that it has gone to the s**** by now, but will be checking on it later this week. Rod
Slightly ot but i have an old allen scope/****yzer that came from a dealorship in the '80's i'd say. Its a good sized machine. I tried to get it operating but couldn't get the trace working, it took it apart and found a burned foil capacitor in the pickup for the plug wire. I gathered up a sun scope and now the allen needs a new home. If anybody wants it shoot me a pm and cover shipping. it has all the accessory harnesses and timing light etc, no manual. Include your email in the pm and i'll send you pics. I never replaced the capacitor and it still don't work.
