I forgot to mention, for the ignition switch you can probably just unplug yours and plug in another one without actually removing the switch from the steering column. And remember, when you feel like your at the end of your rope and before you kick the chair out from under you there's always tomorrow and with it one more chance to crack this basta*d. Don't give up,,,you noob.

ahhhh good thinkin man! save alot of un-needed work hopefully. and yaah its my noobyness thats getting to me and making me hit the end of my rope. but ive figured out if i just go sit in the driver seat n think about the fun ive had in it and the fun there is to have in it. it makes me keep going .. but ill get it eventually, in a way i see this as a good lesson on how to figure out problems like this in the future.

k i got a question and an idea that might make this easier for me. What does each wire do that run to the 2 plugs on the disty? thinking this will help me figure out which wires to tests n follow.

Check out this link it's to the HEI mod but the second pic down I think shows what each wire is for,,,you noob. http://www.mx-3.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=69006

thank you sir!

i got a question haha. i was just going over the diagrams again and i noticed on the module with the stock coil. they cut the stock module ground wire... i never did that before? i only cut the orange one? would that have caused a problem? and im gunna be gettin at the car anytime after tomorrow. got a 5 hour "driver safety course" to go to. stunting ticket for doing a burnout infront of a cop hahah.

and another question. anyone know exactly where the resistors are? like.. are they in the engine bay half of the harness?

The 1000ohm? You buy then install it near your disty.

what resistors?

There is nothing in the harness, just wires.

oh? well someone mentioned resistors in a previous post. saying that i should do a continuity test from each side of the resistor? guess thats not right?

well had my mechanic cousin come out today and look at my car and yah well you know how i bought a brand new reman disty. 350 bucks.. well the coil in it is fucked... its not even remanded. they put a new cap n rotor n called it good. soooooooo mad right now. dont even shop at rockauto.com. waste of money n time.

Hey hey, when did you buy the disty? I've had a few issues with RockAuto parts not working as advertized, and they've been great about making it right. If it was fairly recent, you should call them up as soon as they're open in the morning, and explain the situation. I've had a few things refunded, and a few others replaced with a partial refund; They've gone above and beyond a few times now.

Definitely worth giving them a call, but you'll probably want the purchase number handy when you do so. The printed receipt, or the email confirmation will have the info you need.

Good luck with it, I hope they make it up to you.

Side not, how come only some people's posts are auto filtered for profanity? I get ----'d when I swear.

I called RockAuto about a part problem and 2 days later I had a replacement and he said don't bother returning the other part. I likes Rockauto. Give them a call and follow the HEI wiring diagram,,you noob.

okay haha ive never had them replace anything yet, guess i was just a little mad hahah. and yah ima read about the full hei mod.

and hahaha i never noticed that untill now, some of my posts from before on different topics are filtered? thats weird!

I found my 2 old distys, one from the klze n the stock k8 one. i noticed the KLZE distys cap has a 7th plug thats marked C. and it runs to the rotor. would this work instead of installing a power tower into my k8 disty cap? just curious.
