Working on things at this time and acquiring pieces. Will eliminate that somewhat burned male/female connector on that 8 ga wire. Just waiting for the 8 ga. non-insulated butt connectors to arrive as no one local had them. Put a trickle charger on the battery to bring it back up to where it should be after all the failed attempts. Have the HEI module, the bracket to mount under the distributor, the E-core coil with wiring harness, an inline 15 amp fuse, relay and all other connectors. Just need some 14 ga wire which amazingly I don't have.
Today I went down to the Hornet to poke around the two metal shops to see if I could find anything to make a bracket to hold the e-core coil. Don't want it on the firewall or fender apron but where the original coil is. Found a nice 3/32" piece of 3"x5.5" aluminum. Put a bend it in to make a base for the distributor hold down bolt and then made a cut out in the middle for the coil. Painted and bolted in the coil with four 8x32" screws, lock washers and nuts. So maybe this weekend all depending on those butt connectors.
