Rotate the engine with the timing tab on 0 and the#1 piston up for compression and drop the distributor in with the rotor pointing toward the #1 tower on the cap.
Connect the wire from the + side of the old coil to the "batt" terminal of the hei cap. If this wire is steel-cored, replace it with a copper wire of the same gage. There should not be a resistor in line between the distributor and the ignition switch.
Reconnect the plug wires and start the engine. Reset timing to factory specs and test.
