| Post subject: | HEI Conversion Questions |
I am totally clueless about my '71 Dart's ignition. Can someone explain how to switch from my stock points style distributor to a electronic distributor that can hook up to a MSD ignition. How would i wire such a setup? I would like to put in a junk yard HEI electronic distributor and an MSD ignition and coil. I would like to anna the MSD Boost Timing Master when i rig up a turbo setup. Please Help me with this conversion!! Redtwig898@aol.com |

If you are going with the MSD, just use a Mopar electronic ignition distributor (look for one in a '73-up car with two wires coming out of it into a little black connector). The MSD unit comes with instructions on how to wire it up to get a trigger signal from the mopar distributor. Cheers, Lou |

You can actually keep your points style distributor if you go with the MSD ignition. The wiring diagram for this is available at <A HREF="http://www.msdignition.com">www.msdignition.com</A>. Click on "INSTRUCTION DOWNLOAD" then "MSD 6 SERIES" and "MSD SYSTEMS Installing to Points/Amplifier Style Ignition". When you use the points distributor with a MSD ignition the points no longer carry a heavy current and will last a very long time. The only reason for going with the 4 pin HEI module would be to save some money by not using the MSD box ($130), but then you would lose all of the advantages of the MSD and its much higher energy output. And, you do have to convert to an electronic distributor to use a HEI. I have considered using the seven pin HEI, along with the MSD ignition, with my EFI. I might do this to take advantage of the timing control and anti-knock features, especially if I go with a turbo. You could probably also use this seven pin module with a carburetor/turbo combination. But, you would also need an ECM, knock sensor, Electronic Spark Control (ESC), and an electronic distributor. See <A HREF="http://www.slantsix.org/articles/dibias ... chm.jpg</A> for the wiring diagram. BBobbias@aol.com |

If you want to use an HEI conversion on your mopar, be sure to visit <A HREF="http://liquid2k.com/duster318/tech/hei. ... ei.html</A> The whole conversion is detailed right there. You use a Mopar Electronic Distributor with it. HEI for Slant Sixes goldduster318@yahoo.com |
