Re: Restoring Rusty - HEI Distributor
replaced the stock points distributor with an HEI model made by ProForm
for now I just connected it using the stock pink resistance wire until I pull a 12 gauge OEM one from a junk yard to replace it with (seems to be running just fine even if it is only pulling 9 volts instead of 12)
the pink wire was spliced into a yellow wire running down to the starter which I just cut off (and will delete at a later time)
set the initial timing (no vacuum advance to 6* at 900 RPM) then I connected the vacuum and it started idling at 1,400 RPM so I backed the idle speed down to about 800 (not sure what I am doing exactly)
