    1974 Distributor

    I recently pulled my points type distributor to upgrade it to a pertronix electronic ignition. Everything went fine but I forgot what and were the wires connect to. i have two wire comming from the pickup in the dist. which go to the coil + and -. The small condenser mounted to the side of the coil goes to the + or the - on the coil? I also have a wire coming off the firewall that I thought was connected to the distributor as well, but can't remember where..... Any help?

    Kerry -

    Do you have the Pertronix instructions that came with the unit?

    The red wire from the module needs a full 12 volts - you'll have to run a 14-ga. or 16-ga. wire from an ignition-switched source on the fuse block to feed it; the existing ignition wire that goes to the (+) side of the coil is a resistance wire, so you don't want to connect the red wire to the coil (+) terminal. The black wire from the module connects to the coil (-) terminal.

    The radio noise suppression capacitor mounted on the coil bracket connects to the (+) terminal on the coil.
