I have a 63 Suburban that I swithed from an I6 to a sbc with an HEI dist. I ran a 12ga wire from the pink wire at the back of the ignition to the bat on the HEI. The wiring harness that plugs into the firewall has 3 wires that go to the starter, 1 wire that goes to the temp sending unit, and 1 yellow wire that would go to the pos side of the coil. Where would the yellow wire go now that I have a HEI instead of a coil. Thanks

Don't use the yellow wire, it is a resistive wire to reduce the voltage to the points (9 volts, to make them last longer). The pink wire you are using is sufficient. You want 12 volts going to the HEI, so that it will work correctly.
