Will this distributer allow me to use the same plug wires i am using with my oem point distributer ? or Are new wires required

You will need new HEI wires. From points to High Energy Ignition you need a better wire.

You will have to change wires.You can also get a hei boot kit and just change ends.But if they are older than three monrhs just replace them.

No.......I used my old ones. Check wires where they go into the breakers. Its easy to put them behind the insert and you'll get a bad connection. This was part of my problem. GL

it should, pull plug and count the number of wires or terminal pins, they need to be the same # as the new one.

We were replacing one that was 14 years old and had to rewire it. The plug on the new one is not the same as the old one. It was a simple re-wire though. We did not know of any adapter.

you will need to get the OEM plug from best buy or some other store like amazon and wire your connections to that plug. I soldered the connections and put heat shrink tubing over them . There were about 15-20 wires.

Please check with the manual if the wire is a "one way" wire. Should be plug and play, have your installer double check the installation, thank you.

Most of the reviews say which distributer was used, I would suggest checking the reviews, they usually have a comment regarding one of these questions.

The whole point of a HEI distributor is to do away with your points and coil. All you need is a hot wire going to it so wire just like your old coil is. Negative for your ground and the positive wire on your coil would go to your distributor but take your old coil off. It turns your old point system into electronic ignition. Make sure you get the right distributor for your 350.

If you are using existing system shouldn't need wire.I did go to hardware store for ends as existing were soldered

No need for a coil with this distributor. Don't be like me and buy a new one and then not have any need for it. Haha

You'll have to add your own. I soldered a diode inline with one of the output wires.

Older installations won't have a matching ground wire. The ground wire is for safety, but not strictly necessary. Simply cap it off as you do the other leads and be very careful none of the wrong wires touch each other when you push the box in.

In my case I changed brands in one home and had to rewire. But throat her home this was just a simple remove attach the wire to the new unit. If you have a first alert then you just connect the new unit, if not your results can vary.

With my application there were already existing wires and a transformer. All I did was replace an older unit. By the way you asked your question makes me think you should have a qualified electrician install this unit.

I don't recall, but they are not needed. You will need to reuse your existing wires.

Only 4 wires. For the model without external coil on the distributor. So only 4 wires. I hope it help.
