If you look at the back of a 65 ignition switch you will find a 12v post available. Simply run a direct wire to the HEI.
Gotta ask - Not familiar with 65 - Does the car still use a ballast resistor to drop the voltage to 8 or 9? If so, just bypass the resistor for the full 12V.

It's going to come with a better mechanical advance curve than stock and an adjustable vacuum advance canister. To hook it up, simply run 12 volts to the battery terminal. Follow the wire before the ballast resistor and install a new 14-Ga or larger wire, HEIs require a full 12 volts for best performance. : G r a n i t e . C i t y .

I am considering changing to an electronic distributor and was told by a Speed Shop guy that the MSD Street Fire HEI distributor is a good upgrade. Part number is 8362. I am not wanting to spend a bundle on it but has anyone had any experience with this change or any suggestions. Thanks for your help in advance, Russ _____ HotmailR is up to 70% faster.
