Starts and then dies immediately? Where does the HEI module and coil get their battery voltage? |

They are getting juice from a single pole single pole relay which is being fed from the large alternator terminal. Switched source to operate the coil. |

Where is the switched 12v source from?

From the ignition switch, I jumpered off the terminals that used to go into the ballast resistor (which it's now bypassed). As soon as I turn the switch, the relay closes. |

Did you try swapping the two wires that go from the module to the distributor? |

Are you 100% sure the coil's primary (small) wires are the right way round? Wrong way round = engine will run but not very well and poor-quality spark. |

Yeah, there's + and - symbols on the coils pigtail port that I hooked on to, 12v from relay to coil and - to module.

Fixed!!! All this time it was a bad coil, oredered a new coil, now I got slight orange/ strong blue and white spark. What a relief! Thank you all so much for hard work and dedication for your fellow slant6'ers and country!!! |

Now you did go back and apologize to your lowly HEI module, right?  We wouldn't want his feelings to be hurt! Good to know the fix, congratulations! |
