I have a quick question.... I just swapped to a Hei and there is a wire coming from my altenator (yellow) that went to my 12volt side of ballast... Now that I ditched the ballast and coil, what do I do with the wire? Also what does the wire do? Im running a old school original Motorola marine...

I am finally committing to selling all the parts from my old Cougar v drive tunnel. I have moved on to another project. I WILL NOT SEPERATE THE PARTS YET. I would love to sell the parts to someone who wants to build a v drive tunnel. If the parts don't sell in 1 month, I will begin parting them...

This is a project that has been going on for the better part of several months. I read about the benefits of doing this a few years ago, and had been thinking of it since. I know you can buy a G bowl, or an American Turbine, but I like to do things myself and to save a few bucks! I am going to...

The last time I had my boat out the MSD box crapped out and left my ass stranded. I've since removed the box and I'm planing on just converting over to HEI. My question is about wiring it up. I have an el camino, and if I recall correctly when I converted that over to HEI I had to run a signal...

I suspect that the MSD box on my boat went out (still need to further diagnose) and I was thinking that if that is the case, I'll just not replace it. If I get rid of the box, distributor and external coil and install an HEI distributor, will my engine perform any different? Is HEI as powerful...
