Question Need help with these electrical terms

Looking at at 73 wiring chart and it has the following descriptions;
#6 Ignition Transformer
#9 High Tension Ignition Unit
#13 Control Pressure regulating valve with warm up compensation

I think I know what these are but can somebody please confirm for me?

Thanks

Thanks Harry, that's what I thought. I'm having to build a custom harness and wanted to make sure I had the correct routings.

Glad to help.

Do yourself and the next guy a favor and use the factory colors for the wires. That way you can use the factory wiring diagrams to troubleshoot your electrics in the future.

Also, if you go with a homemade wiring loom, most pros (if you ever need the help) will either refuse to work on it or charge you an arm and a leg because they can't use the factory drawings.
