Nice job on the conversion kit, even has small guide holes for the plastic line up pins on the HEI module > fits nice.

Set it up with the 12 volt, no ballast resistor E-Coil.

Did a keyed start wire > to trigger full 12 volts to ignition coil feed circuit by way of the relay.

Keeps the load off the ignition switch/circuit, and full 12 volt power to the e-coil.

(12 volts, not 7 volts like the ballast resistor ignitions).

Green wire is the feed wire to the e-coil. 12 volts, no ballast resistors.

E-coil is running cool to the touch.

Took the truck out on US1 here last night for the first test drive.

So far, so good. Changed oil again when I got back in.

Coming Along...

Scraped off the old Sun damaged Window Tint on the back and door glass windows.

Surprisingly there are nice Factory Tinted Windows underneath the old tint, that came as an option with the Factory Air Conditioning.

Happy about that. Later on down the road would like to put a new windshield in it as this one is fogging around the lower edge.

Vinegar washed the windows for final clean up. Wow, spotless windows.

Any hard water spots > they are gone.
