LS5 Coil Wiring
A little confused on my LS5 coil wiring...I know the black wire from the coil capacitor goes to the positive side of the coil, not sure where the black wire from the distributor or the combined black and white wire goes on the coil.
My wiring diagram shows a seperate black and white wire but my car has a white and black wire combined into one terminal, it looks to be factory.

The single black wire from the distributor goes to the (-) side of the coil. The others feed power to the (+) side. The condenser mounted to the side of the coil bracket also goes to the (+) side.

The black and white wires- one comes from the ignition switch and the other comes from the solenoid. I suspect the white one is/was actually yellow and has a braided covering that's faded.
