Re: Coil to HEI swap help

For spark plug wires you can use cut to fit Hei wires or I have heard wires from a 78 Corvette will fit.

I have used the cut to fit Taylor wires in the past.

When you run a new 12 or so gage wire from the unfused connection on the fuse panel put an in-line 30 amp fuse.

Set the spark plug gap at .045.

I have always used stock Hei distributors from '76 or so engines, but many on here have good luck with Skip White distributors off Ebay.

I am sure others will add more information.
