So if I time the pamco correctly it shouldn't fry the pamco? I had work today so tomorrow ill be suring up everything and will time the engine tomorrow.

Another update guys... Wired her up and when the e-start button is pushed she starts turning...Of course it didn't start because I have all of the gas lines off but at least I know that when everything gets back on it'll be able to get going. Now, after a long day of working on this...

thank you retiredgentleman as well...that helps out tremendously... I have no experience in electronics whatsoever obviously, I don't know why I thought the coil need to be in contact with the battery like I described.... But as you have shown the stock wiring of the battery will allow...

Everyone thank you for your help...I feel completely stupid now that I have packed everything up and taken some time to collect my thoughts and read over every single one of your posts carefully and slowly. What I was doing wrong was taking one red/white from the stock set up and wiring it...

I removed those wires now that I found the red/white wires ...I just have the red/white wires connected now...going to the coil with the red wire from the e advancer on the same prong, the green wire from the e advancer on its own prong, and the black wire from the e advancer connected to the...

This red and white?! And just connect to the red and to the coil...

Here's more sorry if they're all uploading and I'm not noticing...

Sorry my phone is struggling to upload my photos that I have of the wiring.

Sorry Leo I forgot to mention the stock coils are removed! The wires that were attached to them (2 brown 2 orange) are now going to the new coil.

Here is the wiring set up I have... I know it's probably completely wrong but I have no experience in this, and scared shitless of frying the coil or pamco (I couldn't have right?) Again too remember I still want the ignition set up like stock no toggle etc. ...basically everything stock...

Alright guys another update! Everything in the cam is installed per the instructions and your advice, and it looks awesome! Now problem is that I have wired it up, correctly so I thought. Positive terminal connects no problem, however as soon as I connect the negative it sparks like a...

So If I have this correct, the picture of the right side that gentleman posted is the completed picture? I'll just completely remove the fly weights and everything? So many other instructions are different due to older systems being installed...I guess I can really only go off the xs650...

Hey guys, So I bought a brand new pamcopete ignition and hughshandbuilt pma recently and just attempted to install the pamco today. I took the advance rod out and have the entire left side complete (sensor plate in place etc.). Now, I have a 1979 special...do i need to replace the right...

Most definitely I have a picture man! The picture was taken at Rockerbox in Milwaukee it was awesome! The exhaust system had to be replaced too when I bought the bike because it had pure straight pipes that were rusted up with no baffles...which were annoying as all hell. I'll take the advice...

Hey guys, I just got my license and my first bike (1979 xs650 special) in early June and have been having a lot of fun with some problems of course from a newly purchased vintage bike. I replaced the exhaust system with a MAC 2-1, new K&N air filters (stock replacement), new bars, rear sets...
