C3 Distributor connection
Could some please send me a pic showing where the black cable coming from the coil goes on the distributor. I bought points today that has the condenser built in and I'm not sure where the cables goes. I'm converting back to points after having terrible luck with a Pertronix.
Thanks,
Al

The lead goes to the junction on the points. The old uniset points I recall there was a black or gray color plastic block that the spring off the moving contact hooked to. the coil lead connects with that.

Right next to the adjusting screw you can see the gray block.
And a small FWIW: NAPA makes a better set of points and condenser. Not a uniset, but better. If you use the ones you have, be sure and save the clamp and screw for the condenser. They are getting a little more difficult to find when you really need one.
