There are HEI distributors with red and yellow coil wires, and ones with red and white wires. What is difference between these two. Is one the computer controlled one on my 82 and one a non-computer controlled one or what?

------------------
82 Camaro:
350, Erson cam, ported heads, Crane Hi-6 ignition, Accel supercoil, Comp Cams 1.6:1 rocker arms, Turbo 350 tranny with 2500 stall.

 

maby i missed it.. but which distributors are you talking about?

------------------

• 83 Z28--ttops, 200k miles--very ragged out. sold after a year of owning it
• 74 Z28--slightly modded 383, TH400 tranny, 10 bolt rear, not to swift, but a 700R4 and EFI is on the way

 

Just the stock HEI distributor with an in cap coil. When you go to order a coil it asks if you have the red and yellow or red and white coil leads. I wanted to know what the difference is between a disributor with the white wire vs one with the yellow wire.

 

ah, i see what you mean, but cant provide an exact answer yet.. is there anything at all else different between them? maby there is no difference?

 

I think it's just how the windings are used in the coil. I believe red and yellow are used for chev and red and white are the rest of the GM cars (old, pontiac engines etc).
