LP Engine G430(3.0L) Igntion System
HEl Models
Figure 6-11 Pickup Coil
There are two basic HEI distributors used. One has an
integral ignition coil mounted in the distributor cap.
This model is used on V-8 engines. The second type
HEI distributor uses a remotely mounted ignition coil
(outside of the distributor) which is similar in
appearance to the coil used with the integral unit.
Since the ignition coil is not mounted inside the
distributor, these units are smaller and use a few more
wires to connect the ignition coil to the distributor.
The number of teeth on the pole piece and timer core
reflects the number of cylinders in the engine that it is
to be used on (four teeth for four cylinders and six
teeth for six cylinders [figure 6-11]).
Part Identification
As stated earlier, there are minor differences between
applications to tailor the HEI system to each engine.
Besides the physical differences necessary to mount
the distributor to the various engines, there are
different ignition coils and different pickup coils used.
