Hi:
I bought a brand new mallory distributor while back to replace my old point type dizzy. I read the threads about installing HEI but the question I have is about a brown wire. The new Mallory has three wires: Red, Brown, Black. Red is constant 12 V, Black is ground I assume, what is the brown one for? is it for Tach?
Thanks
