Ok, so I got a stand - alone Chevrolet style HEI for the steaming turd, aka 73 charger.

It is a summit brand, and shortly after I got it, it blew its module. So, this time, no spark, I figured it was the same.

Well, trying to get the module out was a trick. The left side plug just would not let go. I ended up breaking a little black wire off the plug, but I have no idea where it went.

Ended up pulling the dizzy ( dodge is easier than Chevy ) and looking it over on the bench. Moral of the story: the little black wire is connected to the red wire, going to the cap. It definitely is NOT a ground, but I have no idea where it went. I clipped it off, and the dizzy works fine. BTW, the coil was bad, not the module.

Also, there was some oil in the dizzy, made it past the bushings. I didn't see any kind of gasket.

So, anyone have any idea where the little black wire went? No, It's not the condenser wire. I probably should have snapped a pic.

And, what about the oil?

Thanks as always.
