Okay, heres the deal. Car ran fine. Installed radio, guages, etc. The PO has totally screwed this wiring harness. I have a wire running into the firewall from the + side of the coil. Some how this has come un hooked, so I figure its the reason the car wont fire, since there isnt 6 or 8 volts at the + side of the coil. What should this wire be connected to? I can't find it anywhere. I must have knocked it lose when installed ther rest of the interior. Please help. This is on a 68'......

Since it's connected to the coil it may be for the tach (if you have one). I've read posts here that sometimes the car won't start if the tach isn't hooked up.

I added my tach. It go's to the negitive side of the coil. This is on the positive side. Im pretty sure the coil gets its voltage from this wire, so without it, there is no spark. I just don't know where to put the wire to make it get the voltage it needs.

It might go to the ignition switch.

Midlife has wiring schematics for '65-7x on his website.

I have almost every diagram possible. Its just, the idiot PO wired it himself, and I don't have the 400 bucks right now to buy a new wiring harness........

The wire that goes to the +coil is a red wire with a green stripe. red/green all the way back to the firewall connector.

Under the dash, there is a rather large pink wire, this is a resistor wire that connects at the firewall to the red/green wire under the hood that goes to the coil+.

Follow the pink wire back, it connects to a red/green wire located on the back of the switch.
