Large HEI cap to small dizzy wire harness conversion kit

I got a question guyz. Does anyone have the conversion wiring kit that allows for a small dizzy to be used inplace of the large dizzy? My 86 IROC has the large 4 pin connector (one in the middle) but I want to convert to use a smaller dizzy. So here are the wires and connectors but I cant find a good source to see what exactly is used.....


Exactly what connectors are used to make my own?

Re: Large HEI cap to small dizzy wire harness conversion kit

Hey how's it going my friends. I want to build it myself. I figured that I can make one for a total of about $8 compared to around $50. But I'll check into those sites provided and weigh my options. Thanks guys.

Re: Large HEI cap to small dizzy wire harness conversion kit

I just did the same thing, large cap to small cap. I bought the connectors from Summit:

PICO 5602PT & PICO 5615PT

I spliced the 4pin pigtail to the wires from the large 4pin from the factory harness (cut off the large 4pin connector), and wired the 2pin pigtail to a SUM-850500 external coil.

Re: Large HEI cap to small dizzy wire harness conversion kit

Okay guyz. i checked out the sites and I must say thanks. I really appreciate the help. Now I know what to look for. Agian thanks. But before I go and buy a small cap and remote coil, Would I benefit more from the small cap/remote coil,,, or the 4052 - Hypertech Power Coil large cap and coil?

One of the claimed benefits of a HEI is terminal spacing is further apart; less chance of spark jumping to wrong terminal

Go to your local parts store and pick up the other side of that connector. Those weatherpacks are only a couple bucks, you have to buy the pins and green insulators too.

The benefit is that you don't splice wires, it's a nice clean install.
