You don’t have to take the distributor cap off if your not replacing it. Just don’t drop the screws when removing the coil/cap

hei coil in cap distributors are some of the best ever produced... on all but complete original restorations, it's the 1st change i make to a pre 74 GM car.. best $20 junkyard upgrade you can do... and, good to 600hp or so stock.. i've seen stock modules and accel coils spin to 7500 rpm on the strip... add an MSD box and they will efficiently run big numbers for just a few bucks... sure you can go buy mallory or accel's billet offerings and tie up a grand in ignition... or head the the junkyard and get an HEI and a new coil/cap/rotor and spend that extra money on other things where you can actually perceive the difference your money made..

I read that your supposed to coat the rubber bushing both sides with dielectric grease. Not to be confused with the heat sink compound that goes on the module.😎

Thanks for sharing this, My HEI on the old 454 was frying the coils like crazy, watched this and noticed my distributor didn't have that dam ground piece inside the cap under the coil! Theres a lot of other HEI videos here on youtube but this is the only one I found that actually shows all the internal parts. I'm old school, Id prefer to have a magneto on everything, or at least a points type distributor so this fancy "Lectronic" stuff was throwing me for a loop! Works good now that I have all the pieces in thar! LOL

Points sucks, HEI ftw.

You need dielectric grease on top of the button as to not allow moisture in. That is why the bottom of the coil is rusted.

There is one wire from the distributor. Does it go to the red plug or white on the coil. Also I have misplaced the screws…..what size are they? Thanks in advance for you help.

Red should be your 12v and the white is for the Tach

what happens if you don't put that internal ground strap back in the distributor cap?
