Re: 1972 Medium Blue Highlander Blazer Resto
You bet. I suspect that will work just fine. Good luck with remainder of the build.

Re: 1972 Medium Blue Highlander Blazer Resto
Welcome aboard and thanks for the good words. The build continues. Recently, I replaced the HEI with the original points distributor, which I sent for a rebuild and curve. The HEI left me temporarily stranded a few times and rather than disassemble it and replace the pickup coil I decided to can it.
Engine runs and idles better than ever but I’ve yet to do a long drive. Since I used a harness designed for use with an HEI that has no resistance built in the external coil I added has internal resistance. This coil has a slightly larger diameter than an OE example but fit in the OE bracket. The new plug wires are from Lectric Limited are US made and are precut for a 72 4wd application.
