Juvenile Question

[Peter Coomaraswamy]

I am doing some re-wiring of the ignition on a '70 2800. One of the wires was fried in the harness when I got the car and I'm ready to get her running. Even someone who has don this allot can get things backwards (my excuse) so I am asking if anyone has a very simple diagram of which wires go where. I'm mostly concerned with the area from the starter to the coil. Some of the wires were changed I think so I can not go by color alone. I want to get her running with the points and then switch her over to the pertronix, but if I change too many things at once I will lose my way because my memory is very poor due to excessive "wire crossing" at an earlier age. Any help is appreciated!

Funny

when I was going through some assorted parts in the car I'm helping with I came across that exact item. I'm sure the owner will get it back a little greasier-but at least the car should run

Thanks

To fess up, I changed my coil about 2 years ago and put in a petronix unit last spring. While installing the unit, I then only realized I had hooked the coil up in reverse. The car was running fine before and after.
