Coil Problem
i just replaced my stater and module and i went to start it up and it fried the coil, i noticed there were 2 wires to the coil not plugged in and 2 were, on that wasnt plugged in was a black wire, could this be the ground? or how does the coil ground its self?

Spark plug.................................Darn, now everybody's gonna know! Hold the end of a coilwire w/ your one hand & your other on just about anything. Now your the ground! Up close and personal! How do you know the coil wasn't already fried?

On my 87' I have 1 white w/ lt blue stripe, to the +. 2 Green wires off the -, one goes to an inline fuse & splits into a green wire& a red wire coming out of the inline fuse. If you have 4 wires & no inline fuse, someone has eliminated the inline fuse & gone straight to the - coil connection w/ the two greens & the red.. Know what I mean Vern? That will work, but the missing fuse (if missing) was protecting something! Next time we'll bundle & mark them wont we!
