HEI distributor help required

Hello, i have a 1965 ninety eight. 425
I've picked up a new HEI distributor that needs fitting, but the unit came with no instructions, and there's no retail outlets that i know of in the UK where i can pick up the info
Could someone give me step by step help, or maybe e-mail a copy of the original documents?? charliehotrod@fsmail.net
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

for any HEI you will have to find a full 12 volt power source that is switched. if your fuse block has a IGN tap that would be a good source, a minimum 12 gauge wire. the cap has five terminals, three for the pigtail coming from the module and the other two for the 12 volt power and tachometer. on the coil cover they are labeled C- GRD B+, and BAT TACH. I recommend a HEI pigtail from Summit, JEGS or the such for a clean installation but 1/4" female spade terminals can be used. gap your plugs at .045 and you're good to go

you may also need to have your distributor gear shaved on the bottom end.
