Re: Battery, coil, distributor help..

there should be a ceramic resistor on your firewall that has an ignition feed to it, hook the other side to your coil+, the resistor reduces the voltage to 6v so your points don't burn up. hook a wire from the small terminal on your starter direct to the coil+, this will give your coil 12v when starting for easier starts. hook your coil- to your points.
