It will look odd, since I plan to use the solidstate regulator to run the alternator, but the strange looks will be worth it. 6939678-hei2.jpg (70 downloads) I used to care but....... things have changed

I ground the other locating tab and drilled one hole. Some dielectric grease, and if warranted an aluminum plate, and its out of sight.

Di-electric is just silicone and does not have anything in it to assist in heat transfer as I under it. Steve

Find some old ECU, remove the inners and fit inside the HEI, module, using the stock 5 pins ECU plug With a Charger born in Chrysler assembly plant in Valencia, Venezuela
