Fixing a Lemon.

This 1973 Dodge B100 van was experiencing intermittent ignition issues. Testing showed everything to be in good working condition. My guess is there was a short somewhere in the wiring harness itself. After troubleshooting the original MoPar electronic ignition I decided to do away with it and install an HEI unit. The unit purchased is supposed to be a drop in deal.

Using an HEI system will eliminate the control box, ballast resistor and vehicle wiring. The HEI system requires a high output 12v colt. The kit I used included the distributor, coil and plug wires.

This video shows the process of removing the motor cover on a Dodge B van and installing an HEI system on a small block MoPar V8. This should be the same as any other small block such as the 273, 318 and 340.
