If it is a early model HEI. Then the inginition coil is bolted into the top of the distributor cap.
HEI cap has coil mounted in it. they do make a blaster coil that fits in the cap. if your coil is the type of blaster that is shaped like a soda can but a bit smaller it WILL NOT work on an HEI
If it has an HEI distributor (big cap), the coil is on the cap.
HEI? inside the distributor cap
An HEI distributor has the coil mounted in the distributor....not separately. Simple way, count the wires coming out of the cap. 8....you have HEI. 9 you have a point set up.
It is on the back of the intake manifold just in front of the distributor. If it is a HEI vehicle it will be in the center of the distributor cap. (distributor cap will look larger than normal)
No, the coil is in the cap on a HEI distributor also there will be 6 pickup elements instead of 8
HEI ignition system? Inside the distributor cap (top)
The pickup coil in the distributor? !976 should be an HEI distributor. Take the cap off, unplug the wires going to the distributor, remove the rotor and the pickup coil is under the rotor and held in place with two screws.
u have to look at ur distributor if it is an HEI "coil on top there is markings on the distributor cap for the tach but if it is a regular distributor with an external coil you hook it up to the neg wire off the coil neg/ black wire
inside the cap where the coil is it has a ground wire that is conected to the plug and the coil body if is not properly conected it may cause to bur the module often.
The ignition coil is inside the distributor behind the cap. Remove the distributor cap screws, remove the cap and you will see the coil.
