Hello to all and thanks in advance.. Ok i have a 86 Wellcraft nova with a fresh rebuilt 5.7. When i bought the boat last year it had numerous automotive parts which i have replaced with marine parts one of which being the ignition setup. The switch only has one wire on it right now (from when i bought it) due to it was not hooked up. The wire that is on the switch is grounded and if i open the switch it does ground the other side of the switch at the spade. Per the instructions of the Delco distributor i have 2 different ways to wire it and i dont want to fry anything so i came here. There is a single lead that comes from the distributor thats shows to run to the switch and shows the other side of the switch going to a +12v supply. The other way shows that same lead from the distributor going to the switch, then the other side of the switch splicing into a "Switched B+ Wire (resistance free) then to the coil. After searching online for this common issue i have read that the switch is supposed to be a ground circuit and not a +12v circuit. Cant someone please let me know which route i should go.. I have tried grounding out the single black lead from the distributor and nothing happens. I have not tried putting +12 volts to it due to im scared i will fry something. Thank you
