Black wire is right, connects onto to CDI trigger wire that's connected to your dizzy

The easiest way to wire the red one is off fuse no.3 in the engine bay, providing you have 12v there with the ignition on, I still had to extend mine a bit to reach there though

The good.....
"Thar she blows"!.....
Right kit; 40mins spare time; and it's up and running :lol:
Amazingly easy with the right kit :oops:

The bad......
Timing strobe decided to call it a day, so final timing set-up 'in abeyance'. Sounds & feels good though on a 'rough' setting.

The Ugly....
Anyone want to buy a Pertronix Ignitor kit type 1863 complete, instructions, etc? Fitted twice (!) but never used :wink: .
Please, please, check if it's the right one for your dizzy (unlike me!) - use Aldon Automotive's or RetroRockets websites for more information.
