You can make an adaptor harness(color of the wires are the same) for the est from donor cars at a junkyard, you can get the dist. & the coil there too.

Anything from a late 3rd Gen F- Body or early '90's TBI truck engine
Get the large plug that go into dist (with a pigtail ) , the lead with small plug that runs to the coil and the other coil connector ( with pigtail ) and you have all you need for small cap conversion

Go here they have what you need great people to work with. I used them to switch to small cap for my HSR.

Why would one want to go to the small cap distributor?

patricksmithahhh

stealth ram

Great reason!

haha yes sirrrrrrr im excited car went from stock bolt ons with nitrous.... to 355 high compression good heads comp 292h cam 3500 stall and stealth ram all in one big leap lol

bczee

Anyone got a wiring diagram of the setup ?.. would like to see that.

Question, what about the Ign modules inside the Dist.. are they compatible?, is there any tuning required or ??

Thanks..

I went to a local wrecking yard and got all the pigtails - they charged me $1.00. The link above would have cost me ~$60.00.
Got them off a TBI truck.

I have the wiring diagram:

Wiring to dist is the same and both styles function exactly the same.
Problem arises because HEI has a large plug on the control wire from the dist body and the small cap has plugs in the dist body itself ; hence the need for a wiring adapter.
Small cap also has 2nd connection shown above for the remote mounted coil

do I need the remote coil wire with the msd 6al?

Might consider working the stealth ram over or better yet go straight to the miniram that cam will want some rpm. A converted LT1 intake can be done for a little less...not quite as good as the mini but with some porting can work good.

Good head at least 11:1 some low gear to make it work.

patricksmithahhh

ill end upp porting but thanksssss

ok so i cant figure out how to wire this thing i already have the msd 6al istalled with an external coil on a large cap distributor. i now need to install a small cap which has two harnesses a two wire and a four wire what do i do? i really dont want to rewire from scratch again

rodj

Did you actually READ the MSD instructions I linked in post # 15

You are only changing the coil wiring using the 2 wire connector to connect to the remote coil;
wires to base on small cap dist are same as wires to base on HEI so nothing changes there

patricksmithahhh

I looked through the whole msd manual I did not see any two plug gm distributor at all
