I just spent the day installing my HEI, I stole it off of my 78 Malibu wagon.....running the wire was the hardest part. Also I leaned against my heater hose and busted the dang heater core! So be careful about that........
Then when I got done it just cranked and cranked, so I thought I screwed up.... sat there thinking and realized I never plugged in the cap! Plugged it in and Whammo it started instantly! Ran it around in the desert, went out on the highway, turned it off and on a dozen times. It starts much better, and the all the hesitation is gone. Can't wait to see how the mileage improves. So Go Do It NOW!!!! you won't be sorry....!
