You will find +12 V on one side of the coil, the side that does NOT 
have the wire that runs to the distributor.

I think the list has a couple of people in or near Portland. Perhaps 
if one of them is familiar with the FI they will contact you 
directly.

I'm concerned about the 71/73 mix of parts on your engine. How many 
terminals are there on the plug for your throttle valve switch 4 or 
5? How many on the matching wiring harness connection? 

Is the hose from your pressure sensor hooked up on both ends?
