ok guys i am doin my 350 carb swap and i need to know if there are any wires such as a power wire or sumtin that i need to run to my hei dist. its the summit one with the coil in the cap. or do i just drop it in and hook up the plug wires and away i go?? thanks alot guys

 

Yes...Power from the ignition and your tach wire......

 

where do i get power from the ignition??

 

Thick pink wire that goes to your coil right now... you probably just need to put the other kind of connector on it.

 

ok but where does it go on the dist.? i have the kind where the coil in in the cap so there are no exposed wires

 

There are two connectors on the cap..one says Batt. and the other says tach..the fat pink wire goes to the bat terminal and I believe a brown/tan wire from the same clip goes to tach. As said you will need the spade connectors.
They plug in to the cap on the side you will see if you give it a good look.

 

look here

 

i found the big pink wirte but the only wires i see that are brown or tan splice into wires goin into the fuel pump relay

 

the tach wire should have been with it, in the same plug...look around a little more

 

well i cut the plugs off of everything that the comp controled but i saved all the plugs just incase sumtin like this happened. so i find the plug that goes to the coil with the big pink wire comin out and macxth the other wire comin out of it with the wire under hood and thats the tach. thanks man. any other info u know of to help me with wireing cause i got the 350 and the trans in tonight ands just need to hook up wires to get her to pur

 

pretty basic with the HEI ignition.....alternator (sp)..starter..I think about 7 connections...The starter and alternator use the same wires as before. Its a good Idea to lable the wires as you take them off while doing a swap.....but as they say..hind sight is 20/20..How about the wires to the tranny...you will need them connected for the L/U to work on the TC..Did you leave the ECM in tact? If not , you will have to wire in a lock-up switch. Without L/U you will produce alot of heat by friction. And we all know high temps kill trannies
