1986 Distributor help
I'm trying to troubleshoot a rough running issue with my 86 coupe. I'm checking the distributor per FSm and have a question about the coil connectors.
The TACH and BAT connectors, what color are they? One is white and the other is pink. Which is which? When I changed the dist cap I may have swapped them.

Some of the coils require the use of a short metal ground strap....comes with the coil, and some have the ground wire already attached to the coil, just needs to be grounded, but it ain't gonna work without a ground. When you route the coil wires be careful, I crimped one.
