The coil is interfacing to the ecu (it's the 1 terminal which as has wires to it from the pertronix. And the resister goes to it also, I'm pretty sure)."

• That's the mystery part for me. I'm confused by two things "going to" ECU #1:
(1) something "from the pertronix: and (2) "And the resistor goes to it also..."

I'm guessing the "pertronix" (1) is something like the Volvo/Chrysler Ignition Controller box, and "the resistor" (2) refers to something at or connected to the Coil. If so, that 2nd part sounds wrong to me, but I'll leave that to the experts like Art, rather than muddy things up with my guesses."


To answer your mystery questions:
(1): The Pertonix is a magnetically triggered ignition system. It has a positive and a negative lead that plugs into the coil positive and negative. Then the negative terminal on the coil has wires that go from it to the pertronix, rpm, and resistor. (There is no condensor on the side of the distributor after converting from points to pertronix.) RPM signal comes off of the negative side of the coil

(2): I mistakenly stated that the extra lead (which was for rpm, was to the resistor). The resistor is connected to the positive side of the coil. The Bosch red coil is just an externally resisted coil, rather than a Bosch blue coil which is internally resisted.

I'm trying to figure out how to attach pics of my coil, and where I plugged my coil negative lead into the EFI wire harness. Thanks for all the help so far guys.
