starting solenoid ?
I have a chevy starting solenoid ,my question is there is the B-batt terminal and a S -terminal that is the remote /starting/ wire and we have the R terminal. Is the R terminal hot when the key is in run position or only when the key is in the start position?
I want to power up the hei ,if its hot key on /key off power or should I just use the original positive power that went to the old coil from inside the cab?

If you're replacing a points ignition with an HEI, run a new 12V hot line to the HEI. The one that powered the points ignition is a resistor wire and will only deliver 6 volts when it gets heated up.PLANET EARTH, INSANE ASYLUM FOR THE UNIVERSE.

Its okay to use that circut right ?Just replace the engine side harness wire with a new wire ? The resistor wire piece is the one under the hood ,the one in the dash is normal wire correct?Its gunna take longer than u thought and its gunna cost more too(plan ahead!)

I'm not sure where it starts. Maybe Denny or one of the other guys knows for sure. I've always run a new 12 ga line from the switch. If you want to swap out just the underhood wire, check voltage at the HEI after the motor has been run a while just to be sure.PLANET EARTH, INSANE ASYLUM FOR THE UNIVERSE.

Thnx Tech ,I could have chased a problem like that all over the truck with new parts and still got nowhere!!!I will put that on the check list ,to make sure on the voltage.Which post on the switch would you hook the Hei power up to?Last edited by shawnlee28; 11-12-2006 at 04:15 PM.

what I did on my wifes 68 mustang was to take the resister wire and used it to fire the 12volt relay and that was wired and fuse to the hot wire off the battery. been working that way for a couple of years know and I do run the 289 ford motor on a HEI unit through the ford electronic distributor and a bosh coil.

on my dads '72 C10, he used an unfused ign on part of the fuse box, it had a male spade on it, he just hooked a female spade with 12ga wire on it, to the HEI, worked perfectly Originally Posted by DennyW

....Yes mine has that terminal on the fuse box and is marked unfused ignition,I will use that to power up the Hei! Originally Posted by Matt167

The relays should be key on/off power ,along with the Hei.
Thats the plan anyway.

Thnx Denny !!I looked at my fuse box and discovered it had that connector after reading your post .That took care of the last of the new wires...thnx ,I appreciate all the help. Here is the updated version of the schematic and the old one. Everything look good here or ? Originally Posted by DennyW

For sure!! I recall Jim's torsion bar suspension on at least one of his builds, but I'm not sure which one! Maybe the Track T?? He's a talented builder.
