HEI again
I have been reading about how great this is, and now I am ready to try it. I have a distributor from a 78 malibu, good condition. I know I need a 10 guage wire with an inline 20 amp fuse from the unfused ignition side of the fuse box(? don't I ?) I will be running r45ts plugs gapped to .045.. My question is this.... where does the wire attach to on the dizzy? It has a plug with 3 wires, 2 red and one black... where do I attach the wire? Any other suggestions I have missed?
oh and by the way, I LOVE THIS BOARD!!!!

10 gauge wire is overkill. It wont hurt but having a larger wire than 14 gauge isnt going to help anything either. So if you have 14 gauge wire sitting around dont make a special trip. If you dont then pick up some 10 gauge when you go to the store. It wont hurt.
There are two open terminals. The wire terminal closest to the firewall is the one to hook your power lead to. The one towards the front of the motor is the tachometer terminal.

you should have 2 more teminals in front of that plug one is for your tach and the other is for the power feed. hold the dissy in front of you with the connection block at you right hand this should be how it will look once you get it in the truck. leave the 3 wire plug connected and look for the other 2 the front one will be for the tach and the aft ont will be for the power. it should also be cast into the top of the cap. good luck

12 gauge wire should insure that you get a full 12V to the dist/coil
