Question hooking up a coil question
Well, since i did not mark the wires as where they hook up at, i need to ask.... the red wire with the white stripe goes to the positive side and the black wire from the dist goes to the negitive side correct?

it's a 63 with a 292.
thanks for help.

Was 108 and i was out welding the remainder of the passenger rail. Right balmy. Even my auto helmet did not want to clear.

Not to bad when you drop in the house for a breather and its a cold 80 degrees.

Bill, Garbz; thought residents of the great state of Arizona are not effected by the high temperature because it's 'dry heat'. Heck, as a 'wanabe' Arizonian assumed 106 degrees with 16% humidity would be a great day for a run in the park, or working outdoors on one's projects. lol

Well, as an import from northeastern PA of four years. I can say it is HOT! Dry heat or not!. Bill is a native and has heat in his genes. I have experienced 120 and 0% here and thats like a blast furnace, and i have been in the Mohave along I-10 and at about 130. Thought i would melt along with Christine. As for running in the park at 106 only the crunchie munchies do that and get rescued all the time. We (smart ones) hibernate in malls and the AC for the summer
