Mallory HEI: Radio Interference capacitor?

Hi Guys,

I just got my vintage air kit and I was reading the instructions and there is a warning about having a Radio Interference Capacitor on the ignition. Does my ignition have one on the positive terminal of the ignition coil, built in? Do I need to get a capacitor?

The ignition is a Mallory HEI and it's on my 1967 C10 with a painless wiring system installed.

Thanks for any help.

None built in and you probably wont need one but if you have problems with the ECM you can always add one to the B+ terminal on the HEI distributor.

Thanks so much for the reply! I'll probably try to wire one up just to be safe.

Take a peek under the cap it may be there.
