i just installed new wiring in the engine bay on my '66. i have the wiring
diagrams but they are really just schematic drawings.....

the diagrams dont show positive and negative on the coil. it just shows a
red/green wire going to the coil.(talking about the wire from the gauge feed
, out of the fire wall) so which terminal does this wire go to? + or - ?
And which one does the distributor wire go to?

one more question....the engine gauge feed and the headlamp harness both end
at the starter solinoid. my wiring diagram (schematic) explains all
connections except for each harness has a single yellow wire that end with
the others right at the solinoid. one is male and the other female. logic
dictates that these two simply plug into each other but i wanted to make sure
first. the wiring diagram doesnt really tell me for sure.

thanks in advance.....

The ignition wire from the harness is 12v, goes to + . The coil
- terminal goes to the ditributor (points), which is ground.
