How do you change points distributor to electronic distributor on 72 Monte Carlo 350 engine?

Answer:

The original wire that goes to the + side of the coil will either be a steel wire or have a ballast resistor inline to cut the voltage to the points. You don't want that with an HEI. Either substitute a copper wire for the steel wire, or remove the ballast resistor and install the HEI.
