distributor hook up

[mxzgary]

I bought my boat with a hei car distributor on it I have a AQ260 volvo penta in a 1981 carver I'm installing a oem electronic distributor it has two wires coming off it and I'm not sure where they hook up I believe one goes to the coil or do they both go to coil one to the + and one to the - any help would be appreceated

Re: distributor hook up

If you have the Prestolite BID distributor, the red (or purple) goes to the + terminal of the coil, the black to the - terminal of the coil.
