Re: Coil Wiring

Hi Ken

If your battery is negative ground then I hook the negative terminal on coil to the points or the insulated post on the distributor..Yes, the circuit breaker/cut-out wire goes to the ampmeter...The wiring diagram doesn't show it but I like to put an external wire between the distributor housing and ground (usually a screw where cut-out is mounted on generator)

Sorry, forgot to mention, the plus terminal on the coil will go to the ign switch.
