Sorry I'm sure the questions has already been asked, but I couldnt find any answers in the archives. I have a factory coil and a crane ignition 6A. There are now two remaining wires that are going to the factory coil, one orange and one black. The accel super coil I need to replace the stock coil with has a pos and negative terminals only. When I tested the wires with the ignition on, one read 12V and the other 3V. How do I hook up this accel coil????

Can someone please tell me at least what the four wires that come into the stock coil do?

 

The functions of the stock wires going to the coil are as follows:

Large pink (from harness): Ignition power wire to the coil & distributor module.

Small pink (to distributor): Ignition power wire to the distributor module.

White (from harness): To tach.

White (from distributor): Pulsed signal from distributor module - switches the coil on & off to generate a spark at a plug.

Thank you for the info! Sorry for confusing anyone I guess my pink wire looks orange from fading a little.
