Ballast resistor-> 4 prong to 2 prong

I thought that the GM HEI ignition box/setup was the module on top of the late SBC distributors. How else can you operate GM HEI.

I guess I'm missing some of the puzzle of this big picture.

Thanks

You can use one of several GM HEI modules, incluiding the original known "slang" as a "4 pin."

You must break a plastic pin off.........easy....and mount it to a heat sink. I just mounted mine flat to the firewall for a heat sink. You MUST ground the thing through the mounting holes. One of the members here came up with a magnificent diagram

No ballast, you can even use the factory coil "or a better one"........Pay attention in the diagram to the orientation of the Mopar distributor connector "as pictured"

I made one up "for emergency" ignition, and have used it to test fire engines. .........Plug it into the Mopar dist, hook up coil wire and battery and ground and go!!
