Hey,

Im sorry if this seems like a stupid question but have i got the ignition coil wired up ok. I have the wire from the dizzy going to the -ve terminal, i have a tacho going to the -ve and a white wire going to the positive. I think the white wire is from the solenoid. I wrote -ve on it when i pulled it apart but i didnt have another wire to put on the +ve so i thought i must have got it wrong. How many wire should i have on the coil including a tacho?

Heres a pic.

Thanks Blake

Sounds right if your car is a negative earth.

The white wire on the positive terminal will come from your switched ignition terminal.
