You're welcome!

Another option for feeding power to the HEI is to locate the stock resistance wire on the firewall bulkhead connector, extract that wire/terminal from the connector, and replace it with a new terminal crimped onto a section of 12ga wire that you route to the distributor. This method is electrically equivalent to plugging into the fuse box "ign unfused" terminal, but it avoids having to run the new wire through an added hole/grommet in the firewall. For this, you'll need a Packard/Delphi 56-series male terminal to crimp onto the wire and fit into the factory bulkhead connector.
