81sunnyson Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 im sure this had been asked about before just want a little more clarity on the thread from what it appears, looks like a points style distributor wired with the hei http://community.ratsun.net/topic/195-hei-wiring-pics-w-writeup/ is this a substitute for the "IC" matchbox only or can it be used in conjunction with the electronic matchbox? i dont want to fry anything i have already experienced a burnt coil terminal by accidently using a points coil with my electronic distributor Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 "matchbox" and "HEI" dont mix, one or the other.... or points but nobody wants points :P Quote Link to comment

bananahamuck Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 This kinda explains the Electronic distributor wiring,, and no you can't run a E box with points,, they are 2 different things. http://community.ratsun.net/topic/17444-electronic-ignitions-for-l-motors-4-cyl/ 1 Quote Link to comment

If you look you will find a small black box on the side that looks like this... If you find this you have everything you need for a good ho fat spark. If you don't want to fry something leave it alone, it's already more than you will ever need. Forget about MSD blah blah blah... if your car seems faster with one, it's only because your wallet is lighter. Quote Link to comment
