First question is how new is the motor or car? If it is fuel injected and has a computer, you don't. If you have a points distributor and a carb. then it's easy. If you have a separate coil, usually close to the distributor, just run a hot wire the the plus side of it. That's the same as turning the key on. If you have an HEI type, run the hot wire to the back right hand side terminal as you look at the end of the block on the distributor where the wires plug in. I think that should make sense. If it is a factory distributor, it should have Batt. stamped in the casing above the terminal.
