snip them, or tape them off! dont hook them up they are unneccasry now
just run a 10 or 12 gauge wire from the fuse panel "ign unfused" port to the batt terminal on the HEI

12 gauge is way palenty, even 14 is plenty, no need to go overboard on wire size....
ywllow and white wires that ran to coil are now useless, lose thewm, thwe yellow onl;y runs from + on coil down to R on solenoid

happy HEI swapping
