1967 Dodge Dart 270, 225cid 1bbl engine. It came with a points distributor and I'm making the switch to the HEI setup. I'm following the (extremely helpful!) "How-to" thread put together by SlantSixDan. I also scoured the 32-page discussion thread and didn't find an answer to the following question. Finally, I'm living proof that being "educated" doesn't make you smart.
I have all my parts and I'm wiring it. Hooking up the relay has gone well - 30, 85, and 86 on my relay are wired in just fine. I'm stuck on the 87 relay connection. Dan's instructions read,
Quote:
87 is your power output. Connect this via a 14ga wire to the coil + and to the module's power terminal.
I'm having a hard time picturing this. Let me describe what is coming to my mind and I ask that you correct me.
(1) I run a 14ga wire from 87 to Coil + somehow. Do I just cram it through the plastic connector on the coil?
(2) I cut a splice on that 14ga wire.
(3) I cut a splice into the wire running from the distributor to the module's power terminal.
(4) With my 14ga splice, I connect the wire I ran in (1) to the splice I created in (3) (effectively creating a bridge between 1 and 3).
Is that correct? I apologize if I'm not being clear and will happily answer any questions y'all might have. I thank you ahead of time for your patience and your help!
