carb/dist help

I went ahead and bought a HEI dist and was wondering how I could hook it up to my harness and allow my tach etc to work? anyone know? it is a midwest dist part mwm.8908

also I am in the market for a carb to go on top of my edelbrock 2101 intake. This means that I will be selling my stock q-jet which ran fine when i took it off about a week ago. Does anyone have any holley 650s laying around they wanna trade? Would I be better off with a SA670 or a 650 double pumper? thanks.

Isn't that an 81? If so, there is a Power wire that just plugs into the distributor. The Tach is a single wire that plugs in next to the power con, thats about all it needs

is the tach wire green? i am trying to figure out which wire is my tach wire. I have it narrowed down to 4 wires. a green one and the others seem white..hard to tell other colors due to age.

The Q-jet fits fine on a 2101

On my 81 the tach wire is tan .. goes to a capacitor looking thing on the top passenger side of the firewall and then into the main harness

I took the capaciter looking things off b/c i figure i no longer need them. I have the two connectors that were on them with 2 wires going to each one. That makes 4 wires total. It looks like 1 (use) to be redish and one is green and 2 are white. I know one of those carries the tach signal but not sure which.
