Installing HEI Ignition on 3PG Carts
Hi, All:
I decided to put together a short summary of my HEI conversion on my 3PG gasser. I found it frustrating searching thru threads and pulling bits of information from several places, and not really knowing if what I assembled was correct. So, without further adieu, here's what I did: HEI Conversion on 3PG Cart - Purchase an ignition coil and matchiing ignitor from a 1977 Chevy Nova 4.1L I6 I got mine from Advance Auto for about $60. See pics #1 and #2 below. - Remove the stock ignitor from the cart and mount the new ignitor in it's place. Be sure to apply conduction grease supplied with ignotor on the backside to improve cooling. The ignitor can get HOT! See pic #3 below. - Remove the stock coil from the cart. - Mount new coil. I chose to mount it close enough to the engine so I could still use my stock spark plug wire. You can mount the coil sideways like I did since it is not oil filled. I just drilled two holes on the cross member and used long bolts to secure it. See pic #4 below. - Go to NAPA and get a spark plug connector and boot for the blunt end of your stock plug wire and install them so your plug wire will plug onto your new coil. - Refer to attached wiring diagram that I found on this site. Note, the wires from the pulsar to the ignitor needed to be reversed on my cart, or it would not run!!!! See pic #5 below. - Connect the BLUE wire from the pulsar to the "G" terminal on the ignitor. - Connect the RED wire from the pulsar to the "W" terminal on the ignitor - Connect the B terminal on the ignitor to the "YELLOW/RED" wire on the solenoid. - Connect the C terminal on the ignitor to the "- TERMINAL" on the coil. - Connect the + TERMINAL on the coil to the "GREEN" wire on the solenoid. Your cart should now run like a champ!!! |

One other thing, see pic below from 1989Marathon showing polarity on the coil. He figured it out and posted the pic.
Kudo's to 1989Marathon for coming up with the 1977 Chevy ignition retrofit and to whoever modified the factory wiring diagram for the HEI connections. |

Very nicely done Ron, perhaps an Administrator could pick this up and dump it in the stickies section.

Certainly not the level of your workmanship, but it works!! I tried to post this in the stickies section but learned that I don't have write authority there. |

Re: Installing HEI Ignition on 3PG Carts
One other thing that I forgot. You need to trim two small "feet" from the backside of the new ignitor or it won't sit flat. This is important for heat transfer from the ignitor to the metal plate you're mounting it to. See pics below.
