What kind of voltage does a performance distributor need?
If the connections are good, you next need to make sure the unit is getting a strong 12 volts. Many times, a low-voltage issue can cause a myriad of problems. The wire carrying the 12 volts should be a minimum of 12 gauge, and have no resistors in line.
What are the steps in an output list?
Each step in a list typically includes a voltage level, current limit, time each point is held, and output triggers. Each step can include an output trigger at the beginning of a step (BOST) or the end of a step (EOST). Figure 2. A list mode table of steps includes voltage, current, dwell time and external triggers (BOST & EOST) settings
What should the voltage be on a HEI distributor?
Disconnect the green and white wires from the module and touch the positive meter lead to the green wire and the negative lead to the white wire. The normal reading should be between 800 – 910 ohms. Testing the primary circuit of the coil. The remaining electronic part that would keep the distributor from firing is the module.
Which is the output trigger in a list mode?
Each step can include an output trigger at the beginning of a step (BOST) or the end of a step (EOST). Figure 2. A list mode table of steps includes voltage, current, dwell time and external triggers (BOST & EOST) settings List mode has several additional options shown in Figure 3.

What should the total advance be on my distributor?
Set your initial timing to where the engine idles best. Using the timing light and tachometer, increase the engine rpm until the timing stops advancing. You should see total advance before 3,000 – 3,200 rpm.
