Ok maybe in just dumb but how do I wire up my points dis. If all im using is a push button and a flip switch.... im sure its on here but ive never wired one with this set up so a little help clarifying things would help out alot thanks diagrams are on the first page

... _____________________________________________________ points with a light to indicate ignition is "on". Alternatively, instead of taking it straight to ground you can connect this leg to the oil pressure switch on the top of the engine just behind the intake manifold to indicate the engine is not running based on oil pressure: _____________________________________________________ ... This part is all you need for the points. Where it says "12 volts" you can put your toggle switch if you want to use one. You can skip the part with the light if you want

Ok thanks.. we usually run the hei with the coil in the cap but mine doesn't seem to work so I decided to try this method since the guy I bought the set up off of had it on there..never wired one up.. thanks for pointing me in the right direction

If you are using a GM ignition and a GM alternator then none of these diagrams apply to you.

I have a question about something I have heard no mention of on this forum. Does anybody bypass the ballast resistor while cranking like the factory wiring does? IF so how? Do you even need to? I always run gm motors so never played with points. thanks

I always run gm motors so never played with points. thanks I never have and have never had an issue. But then again, a lot of the guys on my crew run without them and have never had a issue.

I always run gm motors so never played with points. thanks I bypass the ballast on my harness', i'd like to think they start better. my old man was a Chrysler mechanic for 40 some years. he swears to me that a bypass is an enormous aid to starting because the starter pulls so many amps while cranking that the coil is getting less than half of what it should be getting. I've seen a lot of big block mopars that get too hot and "just don't start", I've never had that issue with a bypassed ballast.

i never ran them for years, its funny the OP didnt see anything about it on here cause it use to be a huge point of discussion between members, basically pick one or other and go for it and see what works. mount it close enough to bypass if you think your having a problem bypass it real quick.

It's an interesting concept in theory but the fact is that the coil will produce sufficient spark to light the engine off at a point well below what the starter requires to turn the engine. Or in other words, if the starter is turning, the ignition is good to go.
Now, a little bit different concept is the idea of the starter turning but the engine being too hot to start. What can happen is the ignition plus the hot conditions will fight against the starter and prevent it from turning the engine fast enough to start. What you want here is actually the opposite of the concept above. Switch the ignition off, get the starter turning, then after it is turning the engine as fast as it can you flip the ignition back on.

1975 is electronic ignition and dual field alternator. Diagrams for both are on the first page
