Thanks for the help so far guys. I think I'm getting it. Just to get things straight before I try again: without any other wiring (no ignition), I have a connection from battery to starter, battery to coil, coil to distributor (condensor side), then the main insulated wire from the coil to distributor. I have a positive and negative side on the coil, so I assume everything runs from the positive side. Should I ground the coil? Do I ground the coil. I have the shop manual, but that just confuses me more. Please try and ignore my ignorance in the subject, I am learning on my own. Thanks again.
Adam
