69 ignition coil wiring diagram

[Douglas C.]

Hi. My 69 has a Pertronix in it, not running right so I want to go back to points. Problem is I don't find the resistor coil wire, maybe someone cut it off. Can someone please post a diagram of the original correct wiring for the coil?

Thank you,

Doug

Re: 69 ignition coil wiring diagram

Doug a long time ago, about 1976-77 I had a coil problem with my 1968 that damaged the insulation on the resistor wire that I could see coming out of the wiring harness to the coil. To get my 1968 running I went to a establishment (pick a part) and picked a good GM candidate and removed the resistor wire from the wiring harness. It unplugs from the fuse block below the master cylinder. Did not unwrap the original harness tape on the 68's wiring harness to install the donated resistor wire. You don't really need a wiring diagram knowing the resistor wire originates at the fuse block and goes through the wiring harness to the coil if you do the same. My original owner 1968 is still running/being driven with the donor resistor wire.
I do not know this as a fact, but the resistor wires in GM cars for point type ignitions should be the same length to reduce the electrical current.

My original resistor wire coil connection is still folded back and taped back to the wiring harness.
