I've had my '85 vette torn apart for almost 8 months now replacing a leaking intake seal at the back corner and been adding some color under the hood while at it. I've managed to get EVERYTHING back together perfectly after letting it sit for that long except for one thing.

I can not remember where the wires go to that connect to the ignition coil through the dist cap. There is a white connector and a brown connector and I just don't know which one goes towards the front and which one goes towards the rear. I feel like a complete idiot right now for not being able to remember something I've done a hundred times before and pissed cause this is all that's holding me up from turning the key. Please help.

the white connector is the "Bat" lead and the brown connector is the "tach"

Look closely at the connectors. They are keyed with a ridge. You can't get them in the wrong place unless you gorilla them into place.

Thanks for the info. Once I got them into the cap it clicked in my head that it looked exactly right. So went to turn the key after a loooong wait and....the battery was dead Maybe I'll get to start it tomorrow.
