Just ordered NPD engine harness with HEI option, have HEI wires now running from fuse box. I assume this will not be needed. Can anyone tell me which wires go on the starter? There is an S and an R on the starter.

Thanks,

Purple wire goes on S. Nothing goes on R for HEI. Only needed for points. The R terminal would provide full 12v to coil when starting.

Thanks for the info, one more question if you could. What are the orange and blue wires with the boot's on them. Here's the orange

The blower motor is the orange one, I need to see the others.

I remember the blue one with boot, is the oil pressure idiot light.

Yep, but if you install a full gauge it will still work, the wire doesn't care. :D

I was just going to ask the same question about the wiring. So the lead that goes the the R terminal on an HEI should just get capped off?

The purple goes to S the yellow goes to R the orange is for the blower motor

I spoke to American autowire today, here's what he said:

Orange is for heater blower on non ac cars, not used on ac cars

Blue is oil pressure

Purple to S on starter

Yellow not needed for HEI vehicles goes to R on points setup.

I bought the HEI option with the harness and the yellow and purple terminate together in the HEI plug.
