Distributor questions

There are two electrical wires coming out of distributor,one goes to the coil. Where does the other go?
Also the Vaccum advance has two places for Vaccum,can I run one tube over and split it at the advance or do I need to run seperate ones.
The only other Vaccum I have hooked up is to transmission is that all I need? I thought I took enough before pictures but I did not...

Sorry do not see how this helps?

 

I see a wiring diagram and a nice writeup regarding the vacuum advance. Did you click on the link?

 

Yep see the vaccum setup. And it helps. The wiring diagram does not show 2 electrical wires coming out of distributor.

 

Does anyone have 2 electrical wires coming out of their distributor aswell?

 

Do you have a pertronixs?

 

Yes I do have a pertronixs

 

pertronixs directions should tell you where to hook them.

 

Getting a little late will check tomorrow.. Thanks

 

The black wire goes to the negative coil terminal, and the red wire goes to the positive terminal, plus there should be two wires from the engine harness to the coil. There may be one that is purple with yellow dashes, that's usually the wire the goes to the positive wire on the coils, the other is a ground. But it's always best to use a multimeter to check.

 

Red wire to coil + Black wire to coil -

 

That's what I said..
