[Hello, anybody know where the two wires come from that attach to the distributor on my '78 350? I put a new cam and lifters in and never got back to finish it for over a year. I have two places on the distributor...one for bat. and one for tac. The problem is there is only one wire there. I'm trying to get it running today and I have no spark at #1 plug. Anyone have any ideas?? Terry1218

Hello, anyone willing to look on their '78 Corvette(or similar) distributor and tell me where the two clip on wires go? It would be a big favor to me? Terry1218

The only one really needed is the red and that goes to the terminal marked Bat. There should be a white or tan ish to the tach.
