Coil Wiring

Is it safe to assume the solid RED wire that runs to the coil pack is the 12volt + wire to the coil pack?

And the other two striped wires are for firing the two cylinders?

I just need to find 12volt+ on the coil pack right now to hook up a tach adapter.

On an Eclipse, as illustrated in the MSD directions (Whom with we share coil packs) the center wire (RED on our cars) is the 12volt+.

The solid red wire is the 12volt source. The black with brown stripe fires cyls 1 and 4, the black with red stripe does 2 and 3.

Thanks alot GB, everything worked out great and I have a working shiftlight.

A few pics...







I was a little scared to cut the power wire off of the coil in half, but it went back nicely and i sealed it all up with some heat shrink tube and covered it up with some electrical tape and it looks pretty nice.

Mustang is still sittin around, I havent been able to touch it lately, other cars to work on that are of higher priority than the Mustang is.

We have a 77 T/A that needs to be done June first, and it just went into primer!
