I got the mini HEI and coil from Langdons and am not sure how or if you even can switch it. The trucks current state is just a rolling chasis and driveline. Has anyone done this and can you help/explain how it works. I have been told that you can't buy new ignition switches and the one I have was the stock one with the metal wrap to the bottom of the stock coil. I am currently just lost. Thanks for any help.

I'm using the mini hei from Langdon's in my 46 pickup 261 motor works great. I kept the original 6 volt starter and floor pedal linkage as only starter trouble I've had was the solenoid. Tom sent pretty detailed sheet of instructions. States you need a #10 size wire to the new coil from ign switch, per supplied drawing. I also went with a new set of Ford 300 six ign wires. Let me know if you need any other info or help I could take dig photos if needed. | | |

Any pictures would be great. Did you just run a new wire from your ignition switch and how did you attatch it to the coil?
