There should have been a diagram in the box that it came in. The pink wire from the dizzy goes to the "BAT" or + side of the coil. The "hot" wire from the ignition switch also goes to this terminal (Tom supplies a "Y" connector to accomplish this). The black wire from the dizzy goes to the other terminal on the coil.

Be sure to gap your plugs for the HEI and also invest in some high quality HEI ignition wire.

Finally heard back from Tom. he was out of coils when I bought my HEI. He is going to email me the picture. I was wondering about a y connector. I already switched the wires. What gap should I have on the plugs? Also where can I tap into for a tach? another y connector for the other lead?

I'm running .060" on my plugs, they've been in there for 5 years and are a nice tan color. Yes, the tach would tap onto the same terminal as the black lead.
