Re: HEI wiring question-will this work?

Thanks guys, always a big help. We ran the wire straight to the fuse block and it fired right up. Adjusted the timing by ear for now. What should the timing be set at for a 283? Idles so much smoother with the HEI.

Cool! :-D

Here you go on the timing question:

You'll want to open up your spark plug gaps a bit to .045.
