This is in a 1966 C10 that originally had a 292 I6 in it, now has a crate 350, but the same bellhousing and (3 bolt) starter from the 292.

Picked up a brand new AC Delco HEI distributor (P/N 93440806). It's in and I have a 12 gauge wire running directly to the IGN unfused terminal on the fuse panel (verified it gets 12.6V when the key is in "RUN" position, 0V when "OFF"). I have the lead from the engine harness that went to the positive side of the coil taped up.

Do I need to make any changes on the 2 wires on the engine harness that run to the solenoid? (i.e. do I need to remove anything, or can I just leave them as they are before I start it up?) I don't want to fry anything...

Thanks!
