Wiring a pamco for dummies

[Maverick79]

Could someone please explain how to wire the pamco to my 82 xs? I'm a complete idiot when it comes to wiring. Thanks

Black to core, green to one terminal red to the other. The one that has the red also gets a wire from the red/white on the harness that used to feed your old coils.

Can i put the red and green in either one? What's the 'core'? told ya i was an idiot lol

 

[lassenc]

Yes, which one doesn't matter.

The core is the one you mount the coil on, the square metal ends that exit the coil in each end.

 

[Maverick79]

so the black is a ground? what do i do with the old ground that was atatched? what's the best way to atach the red/white to the red?

 

[lassenc]

Black is ground yes. Mine is ground on the core, and core is grounded aswell.

 

[Maverick79]

so i use both grounds?

 

[lassenc]

I don't know what setup you have, so I can't tell you. Ground the black on the coil core and ground the core.

 

[Maverick79]

its a stock harness from mikes. It was grounded to the coil. Do i reground it to the coil with the black from the pamco?

 

[lassenc]

I am sorry, but I can't clearify it more than I already have. Take a wire with a ring terminal in both ends.

One end goes on to the frame, one goes to the core.
