coil wiring?

very simple Mr. B....there should be two or three connections to the Positive side of the coil...one (black) from the ignition switch, one to the carb for the electric choke element and idle shutoff solenoid, and a third for the power to the backup lights....the Negative should have only one wire from the points/condensor unless you have installed a tach..if you have a tach then the tach's trigger wire is also connected to the Negative side... check here for a nice reference...:

Just fine!

Coil negative terminal: Only the small wire from the distributor goes here, plus a possible aftermarket tach signal wire.

coil positive terminal: Gets fed +12V from teh wiring harness, splits there and provides +12V for idle solenoid and choke on the stock carburatos.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it. Will do just that today. :-)

Plus a possible grey/green wire that eventually goes from the harness into the "computer" socket in the engine bay. This only, if the car is equipped with the socket (-71 and later I think).

wooohoooo....thanks jim...

Hi all.As the day aproaches to fire that sucker off,I still have several wire issues.I must be missing something on the Bentley chart but I still have a red/white large wire that goes from the positive post to ?Considering my bus's('72 Westy)past conversion to T1/generator,should this wire even be there?I know that once I got the correct regulator mounted in the correct place,the wiring started making sense.Could this be a left over that shouldn't be there?Steve

Just a note to let you all know that the wiring help you gave me worked like clock work!

As it turned out I only had 2 wires that I didn't know about. One was a black wire that turned out being the positive lead from the ignition and the other , which I thought was the hot lead because it was RED....was the previous owners splice job for the oil sending unit.

Again thanks!
