I am installing a new coil and distributor (ready to run electronic). I am unsure of the wiring order as it is different from stock and i cannot find the instructions for the distributor, probably easy and probably a stupid question, but I will ask anyway.

Data:

Old Coil Posts:
BAT
DIST

New Coil Posts:
+
-

Old Distributor Wire:
To "DIST" Post of Old coil

New Distributor Wires:
RED
Black

I am thinking (please correct what is incorrect in my thinking): Original wire to "BAT" on old coil now goes to "+" on new coil. Red wire on new distributor goes to "-" on new coil. Black wire of new distributor goes to ground?

or

Original wire to "BAT" on old coil now goes to "+" on new coil. Red wire on new distributor goes to "+" on new coil. Black wire of new distributor goes to "-" on new coil? (I don't think so, but hey I am asking!)

Thanks for looking at and answering my question!

Original wire to "BAT" on old coil now goes to "+" on new coil. Red wire on new distributor goes to "+" on new coil. Black wire of new distributor goes to "-" on new coil.

I am pretty sure that this is the answer. I will know better later on today!  

Ship...

Sorry I didn't spot this post sooner...

You are correct in your second wiring schematic/post. The ready to run style distributors simply hook up red to "+" and black to "-" on the coil and you're good to ***

HTH...
