wheres does a wire go

i have a 74' ford 360 that i put in a 66' pickup. i put a aftermarket, electronic distributer in it about a year ago. it runs fine but i never found out where one of the wires goes. it is a white wire that comes off the modual. there is also a red wire but that is hooked up.
if anyone knows anything please free fill to say.
thank you

In the Duraspark system anyway, the white one is hooked to the "start" side of the ignition switch...but it could be hooked to the "I" terminal of the starter relay...same thing electrically.
It sends power to the ignition module during starting only, and retards the timing for easier starts.
It is actually optional...as you have proven
