Question points to electronic question

I already printed up the excellent article by bobrx7 and purchased all the stuff I need to convert my 79 to electronic ignition. My only question is what do I do with the black and white wire from the small condenser that is mounted to the side of the new distrubuter? I am thinking that it needs to be tied into the black and white wires that run from the igniters to the positive side of the coils. If this is correct can I just splice them and run one wire to the leading and a jumper to the trailing positive? Thanks for any help.

Did you check some of the related threads at the bottom of the page? It is better to bump up an existing thread so that we may add new or additional information to it. This will improve the search function. :-)

You are not understanding what I have just said.
You find a related thread like one of those at the bottom of the page and bump it back up. Then ask the question in there. That way we add the new information to the existing thread.:-)

The condensor thing on the '81-'85 dizzy is for RFI supression. It hooks up to B on the ignitors (on when the key is on). I use it when I upgrade old rotaries like REPUs and others that came stock with points. Also in rotary conversions.
