no, I left the rotor untouched.
Hi
I'm the author of the initial post about HEI modification. ( http://dmctalk.org/showthread.php?5158-HEI-ignition-conversion ). I used Pertronix's module and MSD blaster coil without ballast...
in the same way, the seal from an otterstat makes a perfect seal for the automatic gearbox dipstick.

I found a noticeable improvement on idle, low-end torque and overall driving agreement. But don't expect big horsepower gain, it's just that the ignition works at full potential now. I can open plug...
On the practical side, I've been using this setup for one year now, without ballast, and everything is working perfect
Hi
The"blue" one is actually in Monaco, and as I live in France, I gave a visit to the owner a few years ago. History of the car attests that it came this way from the factory.
I experience the same issue. The fact is the noise isn't related to RPM; it's the same whatever the gear and engine speed. in case you'd ask; YES my TOB is new, the fork pivot is greased and the...
yes , to make it simple :
- to get better combustion, you need a better spark.
- to get a better spark, you need to increase plug gap.
- to increase plug gap, you need a better coil
- if the new...
GM actually put the module on a heatsink on the firewall of 90's GM trucks. that's this particular heatsink I used here ( AD Delco # 10474610 ).
yes of course, my first idea was to mount it in place of the ballast. the only modification would be to add just one wire between the setup and the coil.
Then I installed everything in a stock...
Blaster's primary resistance is 0.7 Ohms.
I had doubts too, that the setup would withstand full voltage so I ran it with the stock ballast at first. Then I received infos from MSD's tech line...
After some hours of road test I can attest :
- the GM module doesn't generate high temperatures. the little heatsink that I use (see pics in the first message) is just warm after hours of driving....
I just received a reply from MSD Tech support, they confirm that we can get rid of the ballast when using a modern module like the GM HEI.
of course the ballast is still necessary when running the...
yes of course, in addition I already have a MSD Blaster II coil and running wider gap on the plugs, and 8mm wires.
I kept the ballast resistor as long as I used the stock ECU, but now with the GM...
everything is soldered :) I just used rubber covers instead of shrink sleeves, over the solders
mine was turning bad slowly. it was still working ,but would miss sparks randomly, and crash passed 3000 rpm.
and here in France, we experienced a few ECU going bad, I think the electronics inside...
PIN B - to #15 : +12v ( green wire )
PIN C - to #16 : to coil ( white/slate)
PIN G - to #7 : to pick-up coil ( inner blue wire )
PIN W - to #31d : to pick-up coil ( outer black wire )
Mounting...
here it is. no secret.:hihi:

Hi people
just to let you know that a GM HEI ignition module works nicely , right in place of the stock ECU.
I just finished a test conversion, the car started immediately, I didn't even have to...
I used the existing stop-bolt on the clutch pedal pivot, with a short bracket. see pic below; just right of the pedal itself. it works fine, just touch the pedal and it disengages without shifting or...
Hi
Here is my own "how-to" : http://delorean.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?p=28831#28831
it's in French but I hope pictures speak by themselves, or you can google-translate.
13.5 daN.m from the Renault workshop manual.
it recommends using threadlock too.
