The HEI equivelant of a external coils +/- terminals

Lets try this...


Lets say we have a HEI coil in cap and trying to rig up something that has a wiring diagram that shows to connect to the +/- terminals on a external coil.

So what is (if their is) the equivalevnt to the +/- terminals on a external coil on a coil in cap hei?

Look at the 3-wire connector that goes into the cap right behind the batt and tach wires.

red = + , brown = - , black = gnd

84 is correct, the tach lead also goes on the - terminal.
