Pertronix conversion for a 914 Six
I need clarification on how to wire a Pertronix conversion in a 914 Six.
I understand that: (1) the black wire from the Pertronix unit should attach to the
negative coil post.
(2) the red wire from the Pertronix unit should attach to the
positive coil post.
What is the source for the 12 volts needed to attach to positive coil post? Is it the wire going to the distributor points?
Also, in the factory installation with points, why is there a coiled wire going from the negative coil post to ground? What is the purpose of the wire connected to the positive coil post?
