Thread: Need help converting to HEI.

Ok well I figured it out. Wrong module. I called the speed shop and he asked me how many outlets the female section of the wires have and I said 3 and the old module has 3 smaller probes. He said I have the wrong one then. He even asked me if it was a 4 pin. I looked and though he meant pin for the cap (duh) and tild him yes. He said don't worry about it and to bring the old one back and he will give me the right one on Monday. The one I am getting (the right one) doesn't have a rev limiter on it but I don't think that is needed anyways. Denny, see on the right side of that pic? That connector there? Well I have one set of wires with 3 prongs going into that one that is light blue in the pic there and then that connecter into the module. It's like 2 connectors together then into the module. But anyways, I really appreciate the help guys. I am glad I found out what it was. I have been spending a few hours getting these plugs and wires on and the wires are a pain in the tail. I tried putting them over the valve covers but I just can't find a way to get them nice over it instead of all over the place and then I tried under the manifold but they are WAY too close to the manifold. I need to just find some pictures of some 305 and 350s and see how they run their wires. I dont have any wire connectors or seperators so that is out of the question for now until I have money to buy some nice ones. I actually love the Billet Specialties one that mounts on the valve cover and has the ball milled on top and the wires are ran under the plate. Looks real clean.

Hey hellraiser, do you have headers ,rams horn.or under slung style manifolds? you can make nice wire separaters with just zip ties,one looped around the wires be it 2,3 or 4and then one around the first loop between each wire,then tighten up the loops

I have the ugly stock manifolds right now with the smog pump and all the wires and hoses comming out of them. I am going to just go ahead and save to get new manifolds, carb, headers and then the billet specialties or some kind of wire seperators. I will use the trick you said halftanked thanks! I am going to rip all this wire and crap out. The guy at the speed shop said he knows a few guys that will just pass the smog test for me and I can just go ahead and buy NON EGR manifold, carb and take the cats off. Only thing is when I go to sell the truck if I will have a problem selling it. I will keep all the stock stuff though.
Denny, why is the one I have so bad? Here is what it has... On the connector up top it has a green wire, on the connector there where green goes in it has a letter H, then a yellow on the letter L and then black wire going to a D....

Denny I will get a picture tomarrow. I will post it tomarrow afternoon. I am actually about to have a party at my house right now and going to have tons of people over so when it's all over I will take a picture and post it tomarrow. I am sorry for asking a million questions the passed few weeks but I don't know non of this stuff yet and learning as I go. I have already learned a ton of stuff doing the engine and all on my 302 and now need to learn all about these 305's and 350's. This motor is a pain to work on, everything is hard to get to. My Ford is so much easier because it's so plain and hardly any wiring heh.
