A Quick questions about dlidfis

I was reading a very well considering installing the dlidfis on my car. Recently I have been having troubles with the ignition and I always wanted to do a upgrade. However there is one thing I just want to make sure of. I could use the GM HEI ignitors with this correct? Also I found a how-to on it but again, I want to be completely positive so I don't fry my electricals, I would follow the normal wiring diagram as with using J-109's but the only difference is with the GM HEI's I would use the following legend:
G-Red wire
W-Green

B-Positive
C-Negative

Is this all correct?

I think that's correct. I can never remember the wire polarity with GM HEI ignitors.

Yes, GM HEIs work great for DLIDFIS on stock and aftermarket coils. They handle 5 or 6 amps before going into current limit mode (sending heat into the heat sink) and J-109s can only handle 3 amps.

I had a picture around here showing which color wire goes to which terminal...

Found it.

The red and green wires at the top are what you're looking for.


Have you figured out a way to get the pickup signal out of your dizzy? You never want to cut any wires. My solution was to file down a couple of quick disconnects until they fit in snug, then bend them up. They never fall out. For example, I used these two seen here on the project pictured above. The unfiled one is for comparison.

^I am interested in this that you have here. Do you have any close up detailed pictures of the complete setup? That is interesting to me. How does it ride?

I'm using a gutted ignitor, myself. It's a good solution and very clean.

Hey thanks Jeff that helped a lot and no I havnt even begun anything yet...I need a little money for the HEI's but thanks for the tip on the dizzy part I was thinking about doing that myself or rigging it up somehow, but thanks for the pointer, also thanks for the confirmation that I can use the HEI's I'm glad at that because they are much cheaper! if anyone else has any other things to watch for that are common mistakes please feel free to tell me.
