That4doorKiD Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Just guessing where these 4 wires should go. I'm not sure which wires go where, four left over but I do, know they should go to the coil and resistor, but which? I have my black already going to the distributor. Any ideas or colors you guys know? Can't read the wiring diagram's colors. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 see in the dist, that is a dual point this is a single point Quote Link to comment
Doctor510 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 OK young guy,One end of the ballast resister, BLACK/WHITE, other end of the resister either black/blue or black/green, POSITIVE side of the coil(+), either black/green or black/blue. The black one is Coil negative (-) FYI, the black/blue or black/green for form a "Y" in the loom and are charged w/+12V to start the car. 1 Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 what????????????????? why you pull this apart? you need the ballast with the point coil!!!!!!!!!! since all wires off . battery hooked up in car. and ignition fuse installed. 1) turn key to ON. tell us what wire has power. should be a blk /wht stripe wire. this will go to the the ballast resisiter 2) disconnect the starter seliniod wire. Now have a Moron friend of yours turn the key to START. what ever wire that has 12volt will go to the +side coil. In later 510 this was the blk/blu wire and the blk green.Dont know 68 color codes but this is EZ. what ever wire that has 12volts in start should be 2(wires) as its Y spliced under the tape. find the other wire and put this to the otherside of the ballast. to make this simple. 1 goes to + side coil 2 goes to otherside ballast. 3)the wire from the points will go to the - side coil(what ever color is is or what if you cahnge it. if a 68 it should just be one wire as its a single point distributor which just buy a Pertronix and put it on and call it good with what you got. 2 Quote Link to comment
That4doorKiD Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Ok thanks guys, I took off some tape from my harness, exposing me to see which wires were spliced (black ground from coil to distributor) and got them!!! That way I didn't rely on the colors, but I double checked with them and correct anyway:) 1 Quote Link to comment

DanielC Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 T4DK, Welcome! I hope you realize what a nice car you have there. Cherish it, and take good care of it. This car is not like a modern car. It needs some preventative maintenance. We all would like pictures of the car, please. 2 Quote Link to comment
