Re: [FWDLK] wiring

Maybe a misunderstanding.

 

My car has the negative coil connected directly to the distributer.

The positive coil connects to both the ign switch and the ballast resistor.

Then from the ballast resistor to the starter solenoid.

 

The schematic shows the negative coil directly connected to the ballast resistor.

The positive coil connects to both the ign switch and the radio condensor.

Then from the ballast resistor to the distributer.

 

The question was "which is correct"?
