Alan -
My confusion was the same as yours is now. Without bothering to check first, I
was thinking that there are two SEPARATE white/black wires, each with its own
terminal, connected to the coil. In reality, both wires go into the same
terminal, so at the coil you can't disconnect the wire coming from the switch
without also disconnecting the wire going to the distributor.
I do not and have never had a Pertronix on my car. Thought about it, but there
are just about as many people on the list who have tried it and gone back to
points as have tried it and think it's great.
Happy Healeying!

You're a little confused. There are two white/black wires to the
coil. One from the distributor, and one from the battery switch. You
can disconnect the one from the battery switch with no problems.
I think you forgot because you probably have a pertonix unit on your
dizzy now, so the white black wire has been replaced with a red wire
from the dizzy. That's the wire you can't disconnect.
