Starting to rewire 46 6 volt with a new wiring harness I got from one of the suppliers wiring is not one of my strong point s so I have a couple questions
First does the armoured cable from key switch go to the positive on the coil
Next in the harness there is a wire to go from the coil - to the distributor but this is not shown in the wiring diagram in the manual what post on the distributor does it go to points or condenser post or is it not used with the polarity switch
Thanks I appreciate the input | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy 46chevinline6, in a negative ground vehicle the ignition wire would be attached to the positive + coil terminal, the wire from the coil negative terminal goes to the only connection at the distributor a male stud sticking out of a Bakelite block in the distributor housing, hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 117 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 117 | Hey 3b I have 2 studs on the distributor one for condenser and 1 for the plate the points screws on to not sure which one do you no y they don't show that in the wiring diagram thx

Haven't seen everything yet! Trying though! | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | Hello wrenchbender Thx for input my condenser is on the inside of the distributor with the contact coming through the housing I can't imagine what the other term is for but use the term. that goes into the dist that the points & cond. lead hook to. Maybe the extra term is for a ground.
