I have the large HEI setup on my car, Whats the procedure for wiring up the small cap

I ordered the Stealth ram from Holley & Ive heard about some issues with the large Dist. not working with my new manifold. Can some one post a mod on rewiring the car to use the stock small distributor if the car originally came with the large HEI. Im sure a lot of people will probally have this same question once their new intakes arrive in the mail! It would be a real bummer to start working on your car late at night & find out the dist does'nt fit any more!
thanx in advanced

Well I can't thread the neddle for you...

But I think the only major change is the remote coil which should be fairly easy to wire.

The style of the connections are different, but all the wires are the same, so a cut & splice operation will work, you can get the right ends out of a j-yard or buy them in motormite.

It would also be easier to get the whole coil, wiring deal out of a donor too. You will need to splice in your tach lead.

G - Ground to Distrib Module
B - EST Bypass wire to Module
R - Reference pulse to ECM
E - EST to Module


+ - 12v from IGN
C - To coil
