There would be a steel resistance wire or some sort of ballast resistor to limit incoming voltage from the key to the hot side of the coil. That would need to be eliminated when switching to HEI. Also, HEI requires minimum 8MM spark plug wires. Then just switch distributors or install the HEI module in the original distributor, and you're good to go.
What else can I help you with?

Do you have to go through the steering column to replace an ignition module?
Are you talking about the electronic ignition module or the ignition switch? The ignition module sits in the engine compartment and is part of the ignition system (coil, spark plugs, etc). The answer is no if this about what you're referring. The answer for the ignition switch will depend on the vehicle you have. Some, like late model Fords, you don't. Push in the retaining pin and the ignition switch comes right out (you still need a key though). Others you need to take off the steering wheel to replace the switch.

1979 Ford F-250 the wiring is set up for points but you put in engine an electronic distributor do you have to change your wiring?
Yes, when switching from a points distributor to an electronic distributor in a 1979 Ford F-250, you typically need to modify the wiring. This includes removing the points ignition components and potentially adding a power source for the electronic ignition module. Ensure that the wiring harness is compatible with the new distributor, and double-check for any necessary changes to the ignition coil, as electronic distributors often require a different coil than points systems.

From Points to Eectronic Distibutor on Chevy 230 Engine?
To convert a Chevy 230 engine from points ignition to an electronic distributor, you'll need to replace the existing points and condenser with a compatible electronic ignition system. This typically involves installing an electronic distributor designed for the 230 engine, which may require rewiring to accommodate the new system. Ensure that the ignition coil is also compatible with the electronic setup. Finally, properly set the timing according to the specifications for the new distributor to ensure optimal engine performance.

The 1978 RM250 does not use a CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) system; it is equipped with a traditional points ignition system. This means it relies on mechanical points and a condenser for ignition timing rather than the electronic components found in modern CDI systems. If you're considering upgrading or modifying the ignition system, you may look into converting to a CDI, but it's not necessary for the original setup.
