I saw those adapters when I first started to research the conversion. I just didn't like the idea of adding new wires or cutting the OEM ones. The reason I made my mount was to try and make the swap plug and play. Other guys has done this by gutting an old mopar ECU.
You can even add a relay to the system quite easy as well . Basically just substitute it for the OEM Ballast resistor. Use the IGN 1,2 wire for the trigger, terminal on the relay. The other 2 wires from the ballast which power the ECU and Coil are connected and output power of the relay. Add your input power ( usually from alternator stud ) and finally ground terminal of the relay. Still keeps factory harness installed.
OR just bypass the relay if you think your factory wiring is up to the task.
Im still playing with my mount trying to perfect it. Those little HEI module create alot of heat ! . As another member wrote in his own thread , my original design was lacking enough heat sink. His solution was the AC delco heat sink ADDED to mine which has been working great from my understanding.
