Thanks F250!

Unfortunately, I'm still running the duraspark 2 Module.

I did get some work done today. I picked up a wells HEI module and ran a ground wire directly to my battery.

After everything was wired back up, it started right up and idled for about 30 seconds. Then it would not idle. It also spits and sputters after I shut it off.

I tried switching the violet and orange wires on G and W. It acted like it didn't even wanna turn over?

I'm going to look over my pig tail tonight. I'm also wondering if I need a different coil. I read the HEI likes a certain coil??


C&P from • View topic - Duraspark ignition system - What is the weak point?

"turns out the duraspark coil wants 8 volts not 13.4 so it gets hot and stalls out. it has too much resistance for the GM HEI so you have to run a low primary resistance coil, Less than 1 ohm. MSD Blaster II fits in with 0.7 ohms. vrs the 1.5 ohm duraspark coil."

Could this be my problem?
