Reply to "Ignition System Mess"

Michael,

From the original wiring harness:

The pink wire is the ignition "run" wire (key in the "run" position). It originally went to the one side of the ballast resistor and then to the coil "BAT" (+) terminal.

The red wire was connected to the pink wire (same pink wire as above) and went to the throttle position solenoid at the carb.

The blue wire went to the distributor and the blue/black wire went to the tach. These were originally connected together and went to the other side of the ballast resistor and then to the coil "NEG" (-) terminal.

Soooo, connect the pink wire to the coil "BAT" (+) terminal along with the red wire from your 8530 distributor.

Connect the orange wire from your 8530 distributor to the coil "NEG" (-) terminal.

Connect the blue/black wire to the gray wire from your 8530 distributor. If the tach doesn't work, contact MSD for the appropriate tach adapter.
