Locked Mechanical Timing

[Dicer]

@Bewy, thank you and all that you said is true. But I was just proving a fact that indeed using points WILL trigger a HEI to spark. What I have set-up in the video I would not use in a daily driver, if I did I would indeed, use a higher voltage coil remove the ballast resistor and points condenser and reset the plug gaps. Next I will be visiting the junk yards to purchase the Fords version of their control module and run it using the standard points and then a pick-up coil distributor and see were it goes....

Interesting the alternative ways to fire the ignition ^^^^^ did not know the points to HEI would even work.

Just fun experimenting, here is a diagram on how it could be wired.

Old fashioned hot rodding, playing around with possibilities . . .

Often wondered if a person could fire a 4 cylinder VW points air cooled engine with the Mopar Electronic Board/Brain Box.

Think there is some sort of an adapter to slide onto the distributor shaft to work with electronic ignition. Will have to look into that some more.
