A detailed walkthrough of installing a MSD Super HEI kit ignition system (Digital 6AL box, Blaster 2 coil, and HEI to external coil conversion dust cover) on a 1969 chevelle 454 BBC. (Dont forget to select 1080HD from your YouTube settings for clarity) (amazon affiliated links) MSD Super HEI kit link: https://amzn.to/30wG9Oe Timeline: 0:00 - explaining product, instructions, previous issues, and plan 6:18- MSD Box locating and explaining 9:11- MSD Box mounting 10:57- external ignition coil mounting modification and explaining 13:05- external ignition coil mounted 13:35- factory HEI dust cover removal 15:07- removing factory HEI coil from cap 16:51- installing low resistance bushing ***@ 16:54 I installed the bushing and rubber insulator incorrectly. The bushing should go in the cap first with spring up, followed by the rubber insulator.*** 17:00- Super HEI dust cover installed 17:39- cap removal 18:24- ignition control module removal 21:19- MSD harness to HEI pick up coil installed 22:18- reinstall cap 23:30- wiring explanation 26:04- resetting timing and spark plug gaps 26:57- double check and start up Though lengthy, I hope you find my install video helpful. I try to upload videos that do not previously exist. I couldn’t find one of this specific kit, so I took the time to document my install so that others interested in the kit or similar installs have some guidance and understanding before spending their money. I’ve been happy with the upgrade thus far. The engine starts immediately , I can definitely tell a difference in low end throttle response, as well as almost eliminating the common carb’d engine raw fuel smell in the exhaust. *******if you followed my bushing install @ 16:51, don't forget to install bushing first with spring up before installing the rubber insulator...In the video clip i had inadvertently put the rubber insulator in before the bushing, and this will not allow the bushing to touch the rotor under the cap.*******
