I'm not sure if I understand the question, but I'm assuming you're trying to get an HEI to work. You need 12 volts at the BAT connection on the cap. The stock wiring has 6 volts going to the distributor, so you'll have to do a little wiring. The coil in in the distributor cap. If you have 12 volts to the BAT terminal and the other terminal from the distributor is plugged into the cap, and the timing is right, it should fire right up.
