Most people call this 12 volts but a little playing around with a multimeter quickly shows that it's from 9 when cranking to 14 or more when charging. There's an article at http://www.ucalgary.ca/~csimpson/Tech/HEI.html with a happy little picture of an HEI swap if anyone really cares. > I may be wrong but I do believe that wire is there to jump the juice > (volts) during cranking cuz the standard distr. drops to 9 volts > during cranking? Right, points systems are fussier (have a narrower range of operating voltages) and don't want full power so their wiring is a little trickier. They take full power from the solenoid only when cranking and reduced voltage through the resistor wire the rest of the time. BTW: as an aside, a fellow on another list was having the hardest time setting his dwell because it would run well only at very high degrees and it turned out his points were running full power. Usually people figure out the resistor wire has been bypassed when they have to replace the points between oil changes :) > Larry (z) <~knows just enough to be dangerous; anyone care to let me > rewire their house?

Wb Doug: long time no see. Just to let you know the Oregon chevelle and el camino club will be having there first show June 30 Th. hope to see you there. also the club is at 75 members already and growing. We are hoping to hit the 100 mark before our first year. care to join? Email me or contact someone through the link.

[Chevelle-List] H.E.I.
Good Day all, been onlist for awhile without internet and now have a new computer and internet. I recently put an H.E.I. distributer in my 69 elcy and would like to know if I did it right. I took the firewall wire to the distributer(bat.+ ) side and ran a wire off that(bat+) down to the sylenoid . Yes car starts and runs .Is there a how to kit out there.What kind of wire to use , end tips that plug to the dist. and sylenoid?Thankyou for any info Doug Fugere
