I have a 79 Mercruiser Alpha 260 (350) sbc.It is still running points.I would like to switch it over to a Hei distributor.
Has anyone successfully done this?
Here is where the problem lies.There is a momentary stutter switch that shorts out the ignition so you can shift from forward to reverse.With out the ignition cutting out it would be very difficult or impossible to shift (and also damage to the drive could occur).I believe this switch is connected to the negative side of the coil.
If I install the Hei how would I connect the stutter/cut out wiring?
If I connect it to the tach terminal of the Hei would it give the same affect?
