<VV> Ignition circuit diagram

[Charles Lee]

Oh, I think I see what you mean ...

The firing order was not the subject of my investigation, but rather the
coil-points-condenser part was.

The manual shows the distributor and block from different angles, if I'm
not mistaken ?

Figure 49 (pg 12-27) does not include a diagram of the distributor
'internals' which is the subject of this effort.

My diagram (correctly ?) turns the engine block in that figure 90
degrees CW, and leaves the rotor as is, so that they are both oriented
as though you are standing behind the car, looking forward.

If you do that, then plug wire #1 is correct ?

The manual's figure doesn't indicate that the condenser is grounded, or
how the points connect up in the circuit, which is what I was trying to
do.

Here is the new version with visually accurate spark plug wires :

Thanks for the 'proof reading' everyone !

Hi Charles,

I'm looking at page 12-27 in the '65 manual.  I imagine the same
(similar) 
diagram is in the EM manual as well.

Look at the # 1 wire.  It comes from the distributor on the lower right
(not 
the upper right as you are showing).  This is the way it actually looks
in 
the car.  What is not depicted (like the engine bay) is that the wires
going 
to 2 - 4 - 6 run along side one another on the top of the turkey roaster

between the fan opening and the fuel pump.
