help! im trying to get a 1985 distributor on a 1986 motor wired up and it seems that every sketch or diagram i google is a bit different or makes no sense to me.

can someone point me to an easy to understand image or walk me through how my coils, ignitors, and the other single black wire (condenser??) on the distributor are supposed to be routed?
i have tried wiring it in many configurations as to info and images i have found on the web, but nothing seems to get me to the right outcome. i am told that the ignitors on the dizzy are good.

the project is a bit much to explain here so heres a link to my build thread and you will understand better...... im ready to take this project for its maiden voyage around the block as soon as i get this dilemma figured out.

I have a write up wiring up an HEI based ignition, maybe the drawings there will help? See my sig for TLIDFIS.

Those straight pipes will destroy your hearing, get you tickets and burn grass. Have you run it
yet with that exhaust setup?

Cool project.
