Transistorized Ignition wire connections?
Hi Y'all,
I have a stock '73 BB. Can someone please tell me where the two wires(red & black) go from the bottom of the transistorized ignition distributor?
Thanks a lot!

Well, now I know that I really don't have a factory TI setup. What I have is a module mounted where the points normally would be. It has a label on the side that says "Ingitor LS". The rotating 8-lobe cam on the distributor looks like a standard points type. Perhaps this is actually an aftermarket points replacement device?
There are only 2-wires coming out of the distributor; red & black. Should I connect the red to the + side of the coil and the black to the - side of the coil/

Hey Solid,
Thanks for the info. I just replaced the entire wiring harness with a set from Lectric Limited. There is a special yellow, nylon covered wire that goes to the + side of the coil that might be the resistor that you speak of. I'll check it out once I get it running again.
Thanks for the quick reply!
