Hello. I have read the forum on the conversion but having some problems taking it all in and was hoping someone could make the life simple with the picture I have below.

I would like to know all the correct wiring.

In the picture the module has pink wire, white wire, black/white wire & a white/black wire.

The coil has a pink, white, white/black

My Bosch relay has 4 prongs 85 87 86 30

My distributor has 2 wires black and white

I think I have all the parts needed now I need the experts advice.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks in advance. Bill

_________________

Minor point for clarification: your relay will have terminals 85, 86, 87, and 30.

30: Power input from battery or alternator B+, via appropriate fuse
85: Trigger (-) to ground
86: Trigger (+) to ignition switch output (live when ignition switch "on")
87: Power output to module/coil

Thanks for the info on the relay. Can you help with the Module,coil and distributor?

That info is in the HEI upgrade article.

That module looks like the one I got that would not work with a distributer. Also that coil does not play well with the module you really want.

You really want the module that you would pull from inside a distributor and the coil that is on the same vehicle.

That's why I am asking, because after I have read trough the article I thought the set up I chose was doable but in the article I see the other style so now I think I'm even more confused. Any other thoughts on the parts in the picture??? This looked like the cleaner way to go but I am not sure on the wiring. (it show the other style) if it won't work I sure would like to know before I attempt this mod.

I pulled that style module and coil (the one you have pictured)from a chevy pickup and it would not fire my distributor. I adapted the other style module in place of the one you have and it ran for about 20 minutes and left me stranded. I exchanged the module with another known good one and it fried in less than a minute. I went to a yard and pulled the older style module and coil from an 86 chevett and it worked like a charm.

Give the article another look — I've gone in and reworked it, added new pictures and information and wiring diagrams supplied by other members who have successfully gone this route.

Dan that article shows a different coil and module than the original poster has in his picture. The coil he shows has a different connector for the center wire to the disrtibutor. The article also shows the older style module. Basicly the stuff he has will not work.

I agree his late-type module won't work, but why not the coil?

I don't know why but, the one I used smoked 2 modules.
