I made a test rig for my HEI
So I am in the middle of swapping my points for an HEI distributor, and I was having some trouble getting any spark out of the thing. So, I took it all apart and set up a test rig for it. The test rig works great (I guess I just had a loose wire initially), so I took a video of it and put it up on youtube:

Re: I made a test rig for my HEI
Interesting... Needs better lighting, but it looks like it served your purpose.
Wouldn't be a bad idea to explain what you did and how you did it, in case someone needs to test one out of the engine. |

Re: I made a test rig for my HEI
Thanks for posting your info, but me doing anything related to that just wouldn't work. But let us know how you connected everything. I have an HEI distributor that has a bad wire to the pickup coil, that I want to fix for the experience.

Re: I made a test rig for my HEI
This is all you need to test an HEI dist:
 Put it next to the dist, and pull the trigger, if the solder gun makes noise (vibrating, etc.) you're pickup coil is gone. If not it's probably the module. Last edited by Morgsie; 09-04-2007 at 12:23 AM. |
