List of Parts in Kit
Includes:
-
New high output cube-shape 3-wire inductive proximity sensor w/mounting adapter
and two Allen head mounting screws w/lock washers.
-
New high quality GM 4-pin HEI electronic ignition control module with
two 8-32 UNC x 5/16" hex head
self-threading screws (not self-tapping) and two flat washers (to create
an air space for cooling of unit) or packet of
thermal paste.
-
6-32 UNC x 3/4" length Allen head screw with aluminum spacer and split lock
washer.
-
One 3/16" and three 1/4" slip-on crimp wire connectors (for module), three
3/16" ring crimp wire connectors (for ignition coil and ground W terminal
on module), and two nylon wire clamps (loops) to secure wires in place.
-
New 12 volt canister ignition coil w/mounting bracket/clamp.
-
New 10" or 13" length metal core spark plug wire.
IMPORTANT - Due to length of spark plug wire,
please indicate if original Breakerless coil is mounted next to carburetor
(10" length) or above starter motor (13" length).
-
New Autolite 216 or Champion 844 (H10C) spark plug. Set spark plug gap at
.035" with this system.
Installation Instructions:
Click/tap
here to print out the wiring diagram and installation/wiring connection
instructions.
-
Fasten the cube-shape proximity
sensor on the two bosses that's on the bearing plate with the supplied Allen
head screws and split lock washers. If there are no threaded holes in the
bosses, drill with a 5/32" bit, and cut 10-24 UNC threads in the bosses.
Route the insulated wires on the sensor through the hole in the bearing plate.

how to professionally cut new threads.
-
With the proximity sensor installed on the bearing plate, and the (20º
BTDC) S mark on the flywheel aligned with the raised boss on the bearing
plate, install the supplied 6-32 UNC x 3/4" Allen screw, spacer and split
lock washer in the gear ring at 1/16" - 1/8" from the proximity sensor, centered
with the sensor. FYI: The inner circumference of the ring gear is mild
steel, and the gear teeth is hardened steel.

-
Mounting of HEI module requires
two 9/64" drilled holes. To install module behind bearing plate, use a
close quarters power drill or use an ordinary 3/8" power
drill with a custom-made 7" length x 3/8" diameter drill bit extension with
a 9/64" drilled end hole and two Allen set screws to secure the 9/64" drill
bit. (As shown to the right ->.) If engine is equipped with a mechanical
fuel pump, it will need to be removed for installation of the module, then
reinstalled afterwards.
-
Use the two supplied 8-32 UNC x 5/16" hex head self-threading screws to fasten
HEI module with two flat washers between the module and mounting surface
to create an air gap to cool the unit, or use dielectric grease between the
module and backside of bearing plate or an aluminum plate with cool circulating
air to dissipate the operating heat. Mounting holes in module body must be
grounded to engine/chassis ground (battery negative () post).
-
Connect the BLACK
wire on the sensor to the [G] terminal on the module.
-
Connect the BLUE wire on the sensor to
the [W] terminal on the module and to engine/chassis ground (battery
negative () post). NOTE: The [W] terminal on the module does
not need to be connected to anything, but the
blue wire on the proximity sensor must be
grounded.
-
Connect the ignition coil negative () terminal to the [C] terminal
on the module. For competition pulling - if the
grounding-type kill switch
is used, connect the ungrounded wire from the
kill switch to this terminal. Or for a generator engine, connect this terminal
with a semiconductor rectifier diode to "excite" or temporarily energize
the field windings in the generator.
-
Connect the BROWN wire on the sensor
to the [B] terminal on the module, and to the ignition coil positive
(+) terminal and to the ignition switch, which connects to the battery positive
(+) post.
-
The cube-shape proximity sensor has a built-in LED (Light Emitting Diode).
If the proximity sensor is wired correctly, the LED will illuminate when
in close proximity to the detectable target.
