Is it possible that the brown and pink wires that go to the battery location on the coil, is that the wire tie?

This is what i followed. All it had was the 3 wires going to the distributor.

that would make sense. However, Would this be the case with my new wiring harness? Its set up for an HEI platform. Ill send a picture of the diagram i have when i get a chance. I keep running from school to home, ill get a good chance to examine my notes and original wiring diagram tonight.

Wow, this is rather complicated. All very interesting though, i enjoy learning about this. So with the setup i have, am i free to run without an ECU or ballast resistor? And i see now the difference between the magnetic setup and the photoreceptor set up, that's really interesting.

Just in case, here's a picture of the distributor

If at all possible, do it yourself. But that can be kindof intimidating when you're not even old enough you buy yourself a beer and dont have a welder or other type of fabrication machinery:D hmm, I'll have to think about what else
