You are right about that cold. Every winter I wonder why anyone lives here. lol I'll have to look around the engine bay some more and see if I can find the coil wire. Thanks a lot Don.

You're welcome. Look on the + side of your coil. If you have two wires there, chances are one is from the key through the resistor (or resistor wire) and the other one will be the one we are talking about. A volt/ohm meter will tell you how much voltage each is putting out and help you trace them.

As an old Pittsburgh boy who used to visit my Sister in West Philly every year, I know only too well about the cold. I remember a buddy and I racing his 340 HP vette against a fuelie vette down the schuykill expressway, with two girls in the car. One on the hump and one on my lap. That was in about 1964. Ah, the good old days.

Hehe.. the old "sure kill expressway". Me and my buddies had some fun on that highway for sure in high school w/ our cars, all the way back in the late '90's I had a '79 Z28, a friend a '69 Chevelle and another friend a '71
Z28. You're lucky to see 55mph most of the time these days w/ the amount of traffic.

Will do. I'm heading down to the garage now to get some work done. Thanks again.
