Standard color scheme: Red to positive coil terminal, black to negative
coil terminal. I have one on my baby and with the alternator conversion
I've been working on I know this is correct.

Subject: Pertronix--HELP!

At my age, memory is the second thing to go...
My Type II van, "Hitler's Revenge," (more about that later) recently
developed a horrendous oil leak (more about that later). I dropped
the engine and, as is my custom, let it sit there on the garage floor
for a coupla weeks until it apologized!
Yesterday, to avoid a barage of "honey-dew" instructions imposed
because of my
house-husband status (I'm on vacation), I stuffed the engine back in.
It went fairly easy, except for a *^%#%* snagged cable (MUCH more
about that later).
Howsoever, I have a Pertronix electronic ignition in an 009 distributor.
I have forgotten how it hooks up to the coil and can't find the
instructions.....
The Pertronix electronic ignition has a black wire and a red wire coming out
of the distributor. The coil has the usual sides #1 and #15.
How do I hook this thing up properly?
All I can remember from the instructions is a statement that I can RUIN and
DESTROY and ANNHILILATE and NUKE and FRY and maybe even DAMAGE my
ignition system
if I hook it up incorrectly!
Summboddy, pleeze help me! (Have mercy and remember: someday you,
too, will be senile!).
As I said: at my age, memory is the second thing to go...
TIA!
