I have put the new coil in place after attaching the wires according to the wiring diagram I downloaded from MSD. That is, the red wire (that goes with the unused white wire) is plugged into the harness. The positive and negative wires are directly on the poles and the harness is over them. So now I have two main questions.
1) The diagram simply shows the wires from the harness going off into space. Of the wires I took off the previous coil one went to the distributor and the others came from some place. Both of them are now unconnected. The one to the distributor will disappear with the old distributor. Do I connect the remain one to the C + wire coming out of the coil harness? What do I do with the one coming out of the TACH side of the harness?
2) The diagram says the heavy red and heavy black to the battery. Do they mean that literally? Do I extend the wires (they won't reach) and connect these directly to the two terminals.
If these questions have already been answered I apologize, but after looking at the posts I am still stumped.
Thanks for your help.
