Stephen,
re:
"My new coil has pos neg witch is pos. cb or sw"
Points always switch to ground. For (your) positive ground car, the "Pos"
terminal
should go to the distributor/points. It'll actually work the other way, but
less
efficiently than it should.
re:
"do I get a new wire inside the dist or do I make a new one myself"
This is a special type of wire; it has to be flexible to allow for the movement
of the
advance (points mounting) plate. I would advise against trying to improvise
this part.
The usual suspects (Moss, Hemphill's, VB, etc.) should stock this (probably as
part of a kit).
Recommend you disconnect your battery ground connection while you do electrical
work,
it'll help keep the smoke from escaping prematurely ;)
