In Reply to: Ignition Coil Assorted Wires. posted by BigDog on February 27, 2000 at 18:28:04:

I know what you're talking about since i have the big mess of wires. I also have a Pertronix. Give me a day so I can look and diagram.
My '71 runs great, and is totally reliable.

All the best,

: '02 Amigos,
: I searched the archive, and lo and behold, nobody has a definitive answer to the following question. How to identify the plethora of wires running to the Ignition Coil. There is a double wire to the positive side, one of which I'm fairly certain is a resitor wire, since it had a .9ohm tag on it. The other which shares a plug is ????. On the negative side, there are two wires, one of which has an inline to the condensor. Now the questions. Which of these do what, and what are the ramifications to modifying your ingintion setup with a better coil, and electronics (eg. Petronix). Any experts? TIA.
