If your dizzy is the same as in the picture [ with the coil in the cap ] YES! They are a very good distributor, and simple to wire up, just 2 wires one to the ignition, and the other to a rev counting device It should have Batt and Tach embossed on the cap . The Batt terminal is to the ignition switch. please note: All "aftermarket" rev counting devices [ that is Tachometers, Shift Lights , or Rev Limiters ] have the same wiring code worldwide Red = switchable power [ key] Green = signal from coil Black = earth You can wire all three in parallel if you need to The green wire on a rev counter goes to the "tach" terminal on an HEI
hallelujah,,,, !!!!!!!!!! It was the damn jumper cables. I went to advance and bought a Pos & Neg cables for the battery and. Now that shes a crankin. The belt is just turnin. What a great day
One giant step for my 52. We have ignition complete! Next step adjusting. I guess i need to figure where all that jumbo goes from the carb. The lines going in and out. I want it as simple as possible. I wouldn't mind plugging up what wont be needed from the carb. I learned alot today thanks to the H.A.M.B. and everyone who threaded.
you shouldn`t need much at all to the carb, just a fuel line maybe a vacuum advance to the dizzy.......can plug most everything else, send some pics and we can do some more work.....congrats on gettin the electrical figured out...
45-50 thou is OK An HEI can spark up to 60 thou, it was originally a lean burn smog ignition. as RPM and compression increase ,the gap should be reduced My race car ran a 30 thou gap for 12.5:1 compression and 7000rpm
