Re: [Chevelle-List] HEI and resistor wire
Paul: I also in the last couple of weeks read something about those solenoids. It seems the performance cars idle was too high and to get them to shutoff without dieseling the solenoid was installed. Larry
Re: [Chevelle-List] HEI and resistor wire
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Well you know, I cant figure out if it was activated to push the throttle close when the car was shut- off or if it was kicked open a little further when shut-off. From the picture I could only see the solenoid in the position to where it would kick it open since the position of the solenoid is located in the front of the lever. The other solenoid behind the throttle was described for passing gear for the TH400. I thought that they were located under the gas peddle but then again thats for 1970's cars. P.

Re: [Chevelle-List] HEI and resistor wire
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Just a WAG here, but I wonder if it's possible: Since hotter plugs retain more heat than colder plugs, perhaps the extra heat is helping to keep the electrodes cleaner (deposits burned off), and this allows the weaker spark to work well enough. But as others have said, though, sending the proper voltage to the coil is the right thing to do. Since today's Thursday you'll have a recap of the conversion on Monday, right? ;^) Keith Cooper wrote: My 1971 Chevelle was converted to HEI a couple of years ago. The car runs good. I am still using the resistor wire that was connected to the old external coil. The car seems to run best using spark plugs that are two heat range higher than stock.

Re: [Chevelle-List] HEI and resistor wire
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Well, its Thursday and the project is done. The resistor wire has been removed and replaced with a 12 pink wire. I pulled the wire from the bulkhead and replaced. If anyone wants to know how to remove the wire from the bulkhead, I know now. I had to solder the wire to the bulkhead terminal. The car is easier to start, just turn the key and she fires up. Before I had to crank for a few seconds to get the car to fire up. I will have to drive it more to tell if I have more power. I also removed all the old TCS wiring.

Re: [Chevelle-List] HEI and resistor wire
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List I believe that TCS stand for Throttle Control Solniod. It includes Anti-Disieling,Anti-Knock control. It include a throttle control solniond that was mounted on the carb and something on the transmisson. There are two-four solnoid,a throttle control and something on the transmission. If you have modified the engine or rebuild the engine for performance, you most likely are not using these any more.

Re: [Chevelle-List] HEI and resistor wire
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List oh! okay! I was looking for one of those (TCS). Actually in the latest hotrod or chevy mag. I saw a 69 unrestored camaro 396/375 horse w/20,000 or so miles and it had this piece on it. The outline read it was used for detonation control or shall we say run-on when the car was turned off. I was hoping to add this mod. to my chevelle since I also have air condition I figured it would raise my idle when turning the A/C on. It also had the one on the transmission wich was for passing gear in the automatic TH400. I just don't know which wire is the one for the solenoid coming from the wall socket or if it even comes from that location in the wiring. P.

Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Keith, I don't know the answer to your question about plugs, but I do know that you're supposed to change that wire, all the way back to the fuse block. -Original Message- My 1971 Chevelle was converted to HEI a couple of years ago.

Re: [Chevelle-List] HEI and resistor wire
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Well, you should be getting some type of starting problems thats if you also eliminated the wire going from your pos. side of the coil to the starter to give full 12.0 volts when starting your engine. If you still have this wire linked which is stock for points equipped veh., I think your car might be starting okay but the resister wire isnt giving you full 12.0 volts all the time after your car starts because thats when your resister wire takes over giving you only 9.0 something volts there for killing alot of your performance. This is easy to do, just replace the wire with a same size or bigger direct wire from the walL socket to the HEI. Then take off th wire going to your coil positive side to the starter. All you should have on the starter connected after this is the battery wire and the purple wire coming from the wall socket directly from the wall socket. P.
