This is because the wire from the bulkhead connector uses a resistor type wire which doesn't give full 12v to the HEI distributor.

This leads to a person doing 1 of 2 things..

The first thing is just running a 12v wire minimum 12g from the bat terminal to the fuse block.

The second and which I think is the best option is getting a new terminal and crimping a new wire and feeding it directly in place of the resistor wire.

Option two is what I did since the PO(s) horribly hacked the hei together in my truck.
