Ignition to 12V source when ignition is on.
Tach to tach pickup lead.

There are probably, without exaggeration, about a hundred threads on this board about how to connect HEI in non-HEI cars, no to mention the threads debating whether or not this is a good idea.

And you would probably get more question answered if you posted in the correct section. This sections is for introducing yourself to the members of the forum. Hence the title "The Newbie Forum, The place were you should introduce youself and make your first post"

yea its a real simple install. Make sure you are not using the old wire that was going to the old distributor because it is probably not a full 12 volt source, and that is all it needs. The other wire is just for your tach gauge
