"B" is incorrect. If the low tension wires are connected correctly at the coil, the spark will be just as good either way. Not true. It isn't that simple, because the winding scheme depends on wheth

True. 0 to 60 time is somewhere around 20 seconds, and that's only if you're willing to rev it out to the redline (which few TD owners do). The thing has only 54 horsepower, after all. Drum brakes a
