    Hey there folks I’ve got my car all wired up and its my first time setting up an hei distributor pretty new school to me, the green and red wire, I’ve heard some people wire it up in a bunch of ways, also where should I hook up the vacuum advance up to, do I hook it up on the T vacuum block on the intake manifold? Thanks! Here’s what I’m working with

    Red goes to positive, green goes to negative. The tee on the manifold is full manifold vacuum for power brakes, transmission modulator (automatic), and HVAC. The vacuum advance on the distributor should be connected to the little nipple on the passenger side of the Holley carburetor...
