  1. Just picked up a new toy. Came with a Bucik 3.8 v6 swap, a t50 5 speed, and a monza posi-trac rear end. All it needs is some TLC, suspension, brakes, and a new paint job. It has so a lot a low end grunt so its a lot of fun for now ( burnout machine  :icon54:) .

    Just thought I'd share.

  2. "ebay (RS speed) 3 inch. It was actually quite huge but its pretty quiet and pretty decent looking. I'm happy with it."

     

    Looks like they have a motorcycle style restrictor installed in the end of the muffler.

    its a in-muffler silencer. It came with it installed it comes out if you remove the bolt. I haven't removed it yet.

  3. The car had been running prior to the swap so the original transistor ignition is probably fine. Honestly, I am trying to document the conversion and do a write up about it so others can use it if their ICM fails... but unfortunately I am running into difficulties, heh. I set up the conversion so it can be easily converted back to the original transistor ignition.

    I may have damaged the module, I'll pick up a replacement one and test it when i get the chance. Luckily, I have a daily.

  4. And, by "HEI is grounded by a wire" you mean the mounting hole with the wide ferrule is grounded.  That's the important one, I believe.

     

    I have the HEi module attached to an aluminum mounting/cooling plate underneath the coil/coil bracket. For one of the mounting holes on the HEI module, there is a metal area that comes out of the plastic. I figured that was the grounding area so I wired a wire to the chassis.

     

    What do you mean by B/W wire has a constant 12V? Not affected by ignition switch position? ..... I only needed the black white wire, which in my case was an ignition, not a constant.

     

    Have you checked voltages at each terminal? With key on and while cranking?

     

    Also, I found that I had a hard time starting the car when I had the red and green wires backwards.

     

    It was a switched 12v activated when it is "on" position(black/white). There is another wire that provides 12v (blue wire) for an ignition boost.

     

    So, I just got back from work. I disconnected my old module. Tried it. No Start. Switched my R and G wires and Tried it. No start.

     

    I am getting 11.9 ish volts from the b/w wire when key is "on".

     

    Maybe its the coil or I messed up/recieved a damaged HEI module.

     

    Thank you for responding!

  5. Hello,

    I am installing an HEI on a 1975 Datsun 280z(CA) non-turbo. There is not that much information on the exact subject but I took a look at some diagrams and it isn't that hard to grasp. The problem is that apparently I wired something wrong because my car isn't starting. Maybe its just something small that I'm missing.

     

    Anyways, here are some diagrams of the process I took.

     

    This is the stock setup.

    Here is the set up i am using with the HEI module installed. Excuse the nasty MS paint.

     I have the outputs from my distributor connected, Red to W on the HEI and Green to G on the HEI.  B on the HEI is connected to the (+) side of the coil and C on the HEI is connected to the (-) side of the coil. The HEI is grounded with a wire.

     

    The (-) side of the coil has two wires connected to it.

    • The C connection
    • The blue wire for tach signal and ecu pulse.

    The (+) side of the coil has 4 wires connected to it.

    • The B connection
    • The stock condenser
    • The B/W wire with constant 12v
    • The black and blue wire with 12v on ignition

    I'm using an accel super stock coil that I've had for some time now. I am getting random sparks on ignition on and no spark while cranking.

     

    Any  input is appreciated.
