My sixty-nine fleet had an H.E.I. on it when I got it and the truck runs decent for the most part. Sometimes though, it idles really rough and almost acts like it's misfiring. I got to checking around and noticed that the distributor lead was wired to the old resistor-type wire used for the older distributor. I know that these high energy ignitions require high voltage so shouldn't the new distributor be wired differently? If so, how? Thanx.
