from what i understand a hei needs a constant 12v supply in order to operate correctly. so if your original wiring from the 62 is intact hook the alternator up to the original wiring, the same with the starter, and find a switched 12v source for the distributor. I have not done this yet but the motor i picked up has hei so this info comes from reading other peoples ideas.

as the lights said just take a 12 volt source from your ignition switch (only on in ON position) and hook the wire up to the power feed on your dist. (one closest to the firewall)

Re: 62 chevy stepside ?hei wireing and questions

you will have to do away with the external voltage regulator and install new plug in to the alternator. I think you tie the outside wires together and the inside together at the external reg but if you look there are some good how to's on the net.
