Have one in a 88 dodge d250 pick up.....as said...red to plus side of coil....black to negative....

plus side of coil needs 12 volts......take two wires off ballast resistor....tie them together then run that wire to plus side of coil.....now you have 12 volts at the coil...dont use ballast resistor....easy

That’s exactly what I’m going to do. I appreciate all of the responses here, and I have a hotter coil that was on the same parts car with this distributor, if I can find it around here somewhere, I’ll use that! Thanks again people, you’ve all helped a bunch!
