It's a fairly simple procedure. The biggest thing you have to do is run a 10-12 gauge wire to the hot side of the coil in the distributor. The original small wire to your coil isn't heavy enough. Just make sure to wire to something that is hot only when the key is turned on. Other than that, run the vacuum advance of the HEI to a ported vacuum....not the manifold vacuum that the point style uses. Basically any vacuum port on the carb that is above the base plate.
Yahweh as written in early biblical Hebrew is represented by the letters YHWH in English. The Hebrew letters are "yud, hei, waw, hei". Modern Hebrew pronunciations are a little different and the same Hebrew letters would now be represented in English as YHVH "yud, hei, vav, hei". Notice that this spelling does not include vowels, so there is uncertainty both as to the pronunciation and, particularly as to the original meaning, if any, since this would depend on the missing vowels. Some think it would translate as 'I am' or various rather similar alternatives. If, as recent scholarship suggests, YHWH is the Hebrew variant of the Midian storm god, YHW, then there may be no underlying meaning. German scholars translated the Hebrew name Yahweh into German as Jehovah, and this entered the English language late in the nineteenth century as a translation for Yahweh.
Yahweh was early Hebrew, spelt without vowels as YHWH("yud, hei, waw, hei"). Modern Hebrew pronunciations are a little different and the same Hebrew letters would now be represented in English as YHVH ("yud, hei, vav, hei"). Since the King James Bible is written in English, it uses the English title for 'Yahweh', which is 'God'.Additional thoughts:Instead of 'Yahweh', the King James Bible also uses the name "Jehovah" (the best known English translation of YHWH) four times at: Psalm 83:18, Exodus 6:3, Isaiah 12:2, Isaiah 26:4, and also in it's shortened form "Jah" at Psalm 68:4, and as part of the expression 'Hallelujah'(or Alleluia) throughout the Bible which means 'Praise Jah!'Even though the translators of the King James Bible, following the lead of Jewish tradition, did not often include it, a Bible 'preface' will often reference this Divine Name, explaining that it was replaced by LORD or GOD in ALL CAPITOL LETTERS. This is demonstrated well at Psalm 110:1 where it says: "The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool." The capitalization makes it clear that it was 'Jehovah'(Yahweh) who said to Jesus, sit at my right hand....(Acts 2:32-36)(Romans 8:34)(Ephesians 1:20)(Colossians 3:1).
Jewish AnswerThe word 'Jehovah' is Christian in origin and has never been used by Jews (there is no letter that's the equivalent to 'J' in the Hebrew language). There are actually 72 'names' used for HaShem in the Tanach (Jewish Bible). Each 'name' represents a different aspect of HaShem depending on the context of the situation He's being mentioned. HaShem does have one true name that is represented by the tetragrammaton (yud, hei, vav, hei) which is written in English as YHVH. HaShem's true name was only used in the Temple and with the Temple's destruction, the correct pronunciation was lost.Alternate AnswerBecause originally, God's name was in the Bible. His name, represented by the Tetragrammaton, "YHWH", was used throughout the Hebrew scriptures over 7000 times. It was then translated into 'Yahweh', or 'Jehovah', in English. So the name of God belongs in the Bible. It was there from the beginning and God wants his name known(Exodus 9:16; 1Chronicles 16:23, 24; Psalm 113:3; Malachi 1:11, 14).Over time, Jewish tradition and superstition held that the name was 'too holy to pronounce', so it was replaced with 'Adhonai′ (Lord) or 'Elohim′ (Creator and Judge) rather than pronounce the divine name, and then eventually replaced entirely with Theos Kyrios (God is the Lord, or The Lord is God).
no
an hei has a solid state ignition module rather than mechanical points... the hei is capable of much higher coil voltages because there are no points to wear out.....the hei is better in terms of performance and longevity
Yes
No, you don't have to change to the new distributor if you don't want to.
If it has points in the distributor then it is 0.035 If it has an HEI distributor then it is 0.045
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.
0.035 if it still has a points in the distributorIf it now has a HEI distributor they need to be 0.045if it has the HEI distributor then it should be 0.060
There is no dwell setting unless you have points. You should have an HEI distributor.
A 79 shouldn't have points to gap. It should be an HEI distributor.
It's the same on a Chevy pull your distributor cap see what position the rifle buld is facing and drop the electronic dust. In the same position and wire it up and add an ignition power to the distributor.
hei stands for high energy ignition and refers to the distributor. previous distributors used points and later distributors were controlled by the on-board computer.
i have a 1972 nova with a points distributor. I replaced it with an hei i had laying around. i opened up the spark plug gap from .035 to .045 to better utilize the increased voltage of the hei. i ran a wire directly from the battery to the hei(through a switch on the dash to turn on and off) as i knew that the points distributor wiring would limit the voltage(something about a resistor wire or ballast resistor) The problem i had was that the engine didnt idle well with the hei as it did with the points. however the hei ran better through the rpms(up to 6000rpm) so im still trying to research that problem Some motors will idle too fast/rough at manifold vacuum, in which case you will need to connect your vacuum advance to ported vacuum.
