Hey guys does anyone know how many wires should go to the distributor on a '46 GMC Canuck. I tseems to me that there are two posts coming out horizontally 180 degrees apart, one I know is the positive off the coil (I think...) The other? thanks for any help

I can't imagine what a second wire would do unless it was a ground strap. Is it possible you are mistaking something else as a wiring post?

The one wire I'd expect should come from the coil and connect to the points. You say its the positive off the coil, that is correct if the truck is still positive ground. If its been converted to negative ground it should be wired negative post connected to the points.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
