All you need is a hot lead from the ignition to fire the HEI. Should be able to use the + lead from your stock coil.

This attached image may help. I found it here a few days back.
A "key" feature is getting the "pink" 12 gage wire directly to your new distributor. You can also completely remove the "yellow wire" going to your starter solenoid (on the starter for my '71 Cheyenne). I believe that others have had problems using the old "+" lead to your coil, because the these leads were intentionally made "resistive" to reduce voltage to the coil (to around 7 volts or so). The new HEI needs the full 12 volts. Orion 762 |

Yes, Orion is right that the stock coil wire will not supply full power that the HEI needs. I ran a wire from the "ignition unfused" terminal on the fuse block to the distributer. It works fine.
