Proper wiring to coil with ballast resistor

Post by JohnMc »

I thought I took more photos than I did.
On the top of the coil on the "+" I have a green with with black strip (12 v).
On the other side of the coil is a red wire that goes to the ballast resistor below.
On the "D" labeled side of the ballast resistor (same side as the "+" on the top of coil) is the brown wire to the tach and the wire to the distributor.
Is this right?
I get no spark when turning over.
Thoughts are helpful.
thanks

Well the wiring was correct.
The PO had wrapped the wire to the distributor around the connector - so was not making contact. That corrected working fine.
Thanks
