Re: HEI Conversion Information
I would still need to get the ignition module right?

Re: HEI Conversion Information
I have a critical and positive update about the HEI conversion. It's mentioned in a earlier post in this thread but, essentially, another poster found a product at "Princess Auto" that seemed to be some type of HEI conversion kit. I found the same one on Amazon located here:
https://www.amazon.com/Universal-ELE...en%2C79&sr=1-2 This is for a two pack but there are singles there as well. I have installed and tested these on a Columbia cart that I am working on and these DO work. For that matter, I don't see any reason why they wouldn't work on any engine if the wiring is correct. I still have some monkeying to do but these are looking like a promising and much easier way to do an HEI conversion. I will make a formal wiring diagram when I get a moment but generally, when looking at the FRONT of the new module (as opposed to the epoxied rear): - The right terminal on the new module goes to the microswitch AND to the + on the coil. - The left terminal on the module goes to ground. - The module itself needs grounded via its mounting hole. - The wire from the points goes to - on the coil. A pic of the module in my cart is attached. A couple of notes: 1) For about $11, I have no idea how long this is going to last. We'll see. 2) When I say I still have to "monkey" with the cart some still, primarily I mean that the timing isn't quite what it was. The cart is running but not like it was before. I suspect that this new module isn't producing as long as a spark as the old module was, or something like that. It's a timing issue for sure, though. I just don't have time this week to fudge with it. |

Re: HEI Conversion Information
Sweet! I need to test that out on mine. I keep those modules around for converting old techumseh snowblower engines to electronic. The points on those is under the flywheel and a royal PITA. I've studied the wiring on doing this for hours and never could decide what to do.
I wonder if coupling this with that harley deal I was messing with would do anything. Now I'm thinking.... The golf cart is put up for the winter but I'll need to re-visit in the spring. |
