Complete HEI Kits for Sale
If any part of this system fails, are parts available at most part stores?
Yes, a parts store without these plug and play parts in stock would be pretty surprising.
How long to install, remove old stuff, and do you like it.
Hi Tom, not sure if you are asking me,,, but
I spent some extra time on mine like triming the ballast wires all the way back to the harness and using the two hot (start/run) that went to the ballast connected together and then to the big red coil 12+ on the coil.
I also removed ALL the original coil wires and bracket from the intake area.
I then mounted my new coil in the area of my brake booster and the ECU where the ballast was.
Then I pulled the factory ignition box and wiring all the way back to the harness.
There is a picture of it at
www.classichei.com
The whole thing took about an hour to install and remove factory wires then retape the harness back up where I removed the stock wires from.
I would highly recommend that anyone that is not POSITIVE about what they are doing do it this way.
It would be way better to bypass the factory coil and module first to get the car running on the new system, then start removing no longer needed wiring and parts if wanted.
You could also do it like 73ABODEE (Lance) did his by leaving all the stock wiring and just taping it up to the harness and jumping across the ballast resistor.
This way leaves all the stock equipment intact just in case you ever wanted to undo it for some reason.
I LOVE mine and I know it's never coming off as long as I have the car.
