Due to the wiring by the PO of my 66 C10, I had to order a new engine harness. I ordered one from Classic for a V8. I have electronic ignition - so does the hot that would normally go to the coil, now go direct to the distributor?

Thank you
Tim

Yes but that wire probably needs to be replaced with a larger one.

If it is a factory HEI unit you need to bypass the resistance in the system & use 12 gauge wire like Cletis says. If it is a conversion electronic ign. you need to follow the manu. directions.
