Question time for the coil. I have 2 wires going to the coil, plus a blue/green one that I know is from the tach. One is thicker, black with a brown tracer. The other is thinner, black with a yellow tracer. The way it's been hooked up since I got it is:
Thinner black wire, tach, and condenser to coil +
Thicker black (brown tracer) to coil -
Now the book I have says thin black with yellow tracer to - and brown to +. Has my coil been hooked up backwards since I got the car? If so, how the heck did it run? These wires are definitely from a factory looking harness, they haven't been spliced in anywhere. Colors stay the same through a big 8-pin connector.
