Good Evening I took me awhile to get to do my 1971 Corvette finality did the HEI swap i must say it went well sorry for the long wait.
this is what was done
unplugged the negative from battery
Ran a 12 gage wire to the fuse box
new wires and plugs
got it to TDC rotated by hand
Backed it to about 12 degrees before TCD
Pulled old distributor out made some markings in case had put back
any how I think you guys get the picture
I would say that its running a lot smother
performance wise i would better but nothing drastic
at a future date will be putting the old one back but with a petronix but no rush
