Coil question
I am putting my 67 327/350 back together. I am at the coil. I have two pink wires that go to the positive. What goes to the negative? I can't find any wire(s) that look like they go to the - of the coil.

the black wire coming out of the distributor goes to the other terminal on the coil
just for your reference, the pink wire from the ignition switch goes into the ballast resistor mounted on the firewall and than from the other end of the ballast resister again a pink wire goes to the positive terminal of the coil. The other wire on the coil positive terminal goes to the solenoid on the starter.
On the coil's negative terminal is the black ground lead for the points in the distributor

Now just look for a black wire lead coming out of the distributor. That goes to the negative terminal on the coil.
Here is a pic of a distributor (out of my '65) without the cap on it. You can see the black points ground wire coming out from the housing below where the vacuum can is mounted
