Hold the plug with the lock up top

1) +12v in run
2) gnd
3)TFI gnd
4) PIP to TFI
5)no hook up
6)gnd
7)EEC gnd
8)PIP to EEC

Pin layout
1 top left.       So it will go.       1234
                                                     5678

Hook 1 to 12v run power and coil positive

Hook 2 to gnd

Hook 6 to coil gnd

Thank you very much!
I will go in that way.

Still no arc (
hall sensor to be connected carefully









There are 4 wire to hall sensor RED, GRN, GRN, BLK

You can't run it by the 4cyl comp it has to be a stand alone deal .... hook 1 to switch power and make sure it has power when motor is turning over.

Here is a way to wire a duraspark distributor with a gm hei mod...... if you can't get the 8 pin dis to work is much simpler

You are absolutely right! Thank you cowboy!
Temporary I have bought here local the HEI module from LADA
Aaand is RUN It was just 1 second, but cool )

Sure glad you got it going your way

Nice build, you are doing an awesome job.

Thanks Jetman!
Work is ongoing (just pics):

is that a make shift gas can on top of the hood of the car? Classic!

looking great !!!! time to do a burnout....

If you rotate that bottle 180* it'll feed under acceleration.

Yes sir it's classic
But the holley blue already installed with new tank. The pump made in china and it's leaking.

Tried to do that bruno


No rear brake yet. Can't go slow
But i hate the exhaust sound on it. The stock GT mufflers and 2" pipe there.
I love how it sound on a truck

looks like a Russian RED NECK!!!!!!

Hello Gentleman,
So, got one more trouble with the engine.
The intake lifters and cams lobes are destroyed fully.
The exhaust as new.
The damages is different for all 8 pcs, some has a dish, some lightly grinded, some grinded alot 4-5 mm, and one as new.
Scorpions 1.73 rockers half ok, half has damaged bearing.
Did not open the heads yet, but looks like the intake valve catched the pistons on 5 degree ATDC.
Did a lot of measurements at this time for intake valve - and for all the way (+10 -10 degrees both side of the TDC) and no clashing, even have a gap min 4 mm. But it's not true due lobe destroyed.
The valve lift for exhaust - 14,3 mm (0,565") as per specs, for intake valve lift 8 mm (0,314") destroyed.
The springs, pushrods is ok.
Cam xe274h, dove-c, dual springs, stock pistons, rods and crank (truck '94).

What kind of the piston recommended in this case?

Have another cam in the garage - dual energy 275DEH, 275/285, @219/232. 0,515/0,541, 110.

As reason also:
1- the rockers wrong adjustment. But i could be wrong with the exhaust adjustment, but it's ok.
2- the internal spring clashing of coils, but visually there are a gap 2 mm. (measured the exhaust lift).

Did you lube the cam properly? Prelude the engine? And run it for 20-30 minutes varying the rpm from 2000-2500 and not let it idle?

Dave,
I did a mild street build and thought it's not really necessary. Thought it's bolt on, start and drive.
When the engine been started 1 st time it's not accelerate even many hours. Because the car was in garage.
It's was sound noisy, but i never thought it's lifters. I did remove the valve covers, and found some rockers not tight, then i tighted thems (lightly to 0 lash and + 3/4 turn) and going ahead.  
Oil pressure was perfect, idling well, acceleration good... then low pressure, noising ... and now disaster )

oh and yes, lubricated all parts properly. It's only stay before start up half year, covered by plastic film.

So, with your new cam installed you started it and let it idle?

If you did that it chewed up the lobes and you have the problem you have now.

Did again lot's of measurements. Min 3 mm gap between piston and intake valve for range TDC to 10 ATDC.
Found - the the difference of the springs length. Exhaust longer for 0.8 mm. But with full compression there are enough gap.
So - install single springs, new lifters - held 2000 rpm during start up 15 minutes.
Sound ok.
