Tach Drive HEI Electric hookup?
Done a search and only came up with some ambigious threads. (Sorry if this has been addresedbefore). Installed a Speed City HEI and looking for a 12V power source. Hooked it up to the throttle solenoid, and can't get it to fire. Hooked up a volt meter, and it went from 12v to 0v when cranking(and realized that it had voltage on the Acc position of the ign switch).
Seems a lot of folks bought distributors(tach drive) from Speed City, and was hoping to hear how you folks powered them up(at 12V non-resisted switched power). Hoping for a source already under the hood, rather than bringing it thru the firewall. Thanks for any info.

If it has resistor wire, that will need to be swapped out.
