Negative coil terminal connects to distributor.
     You'll have leakage from a 1-7/8" joint held with a 2" clamp. Get one
the right size.

For those following the saga of my wifes misbehavin 63/pg

Tonight I tried setting the timing, no lights from my timing gun, put in
the new coil, now lights, set to 16.  Still did not start, dwell at 31.

Changed the cap/rotor (old ones were visably worn).  Turned the key, and
once she burned off the excess gas, ran like a charm.

Since I had blown out the rusted out muffler I had to get a muffler to
test it out with.  Ran down to  NAPA and got a sound master 18179.  Her
car sounds like it has balls.
Just fits.  Has a built in exhaust hanger, and a 45degree turn at the
end.  6 inch round.
1 7/8 inlet.

Now the stupid questions:
1.  What end of the coil connects to the dist.  I have 2 other vairs and
they are both different, and both run.
2.  Where on the pipe should the clamp go.
I think I can feel some exhaust comming out the wrong end.   I have a 2
inch clamp on it.  If I put on a 1 7/8 clamp will that help?  Is their a
goup I was supposed to put on it.
3.  What is the correct size of the log to crossover pipe gaskets.
