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.

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
