attach a wire from the "COIL/DIST" terminal on the fuse box to the ignition
coil.  I am using a Chev 305 with the HEI distributor.  There are three
wires coming out of the distributor.  Am I correct in assuming that I hook
up to the pink wire?  If this is correct, what are the brown and black wires
for??

terminal goes to the positive battery post and I know that the "S" terminal
goes to the ignition switch but what is the "R" terminal for??
