All Small Six Hei distributor in 200 6 cylinder

[todd1974]

Im putting a hei 1 wire distributor in a 200 6 cylinder thats going in a 61 falcon that had points. Does anyone know where to wire the new wire to? Cld i trace the old coil wire back to ballaster and take it out and use that wire?

I'm assuming the one wire is hot. I would recommend running a dedicated switched hot via relay to it...

You need a relay. That's what I used in hooking up my HEI.

If you have an Autolite 1100 the venturi port could be plugged with expoxy or JB Weld.
If you stick a wire thru the vacuum advance port you will find the venturi port.
A 6-32 Phillips head screw will also work if you the drill the tap the port.
The venturi port is a small vacuum leak. It's not needed with a HEI + may advance the timing too much.
I found that just enough power fed back thru my GM 12SI alternator exciter (generator light) wire to keep my HEI relay on.
I had to install a diode in the exciter wire so the engine would not run with the key off.
You can use the coil + wire as the signal wire to the relay. This way the relay will be powered while cranking as it gets power cranking from the I terminal on the solenoid.

I'm going to use a weber 38 carburetor.

Regardless of the source, verify it has full 12V+ batt power that can carry amperage without loosing voltage via resistance.
