Jim. I'm not sure from your description, but I think you are confusing
the location of the wiring harness that terminates at the coil. If you
look at the top of the coil, on the rearward side you will see a "+"
mark. This is the end of the wiring harness. Attach the white wire to
coil at either of the tab connections. They are both the same. On the
forward side of the coil there is a short white/black wire that goes
from either of the coil tab connectors on the front ("-") and then to
the back side of the distributor. They other wires in that particular
section of the harness go to : Green, to the thermostat temp sensor on
the water inlet housing. Purple (or purple and white on the reproduction
harness) to the horn, and BLACK to the horn. You need to buy the shop
manual, so can follow the wiring diagram in it. The radiator shroud is
secured at the front with screws, and the back fold presses against the
metal frame of the radiator. Those folds create enough tension to hold
it place (sort of). Hope this helps. Jerry Oliver, OLympia, WA. '66
