I have a 75 2F with a vacuum retard distributor and I’m swapping to a vacuum advance distributor (19100-61080). My vacuum retard distributor has two wires (red and black) both going to the coil. One to positive side and the other to the negative side of the coil. I don’t have a model number for the vacuum retard distributor or the coil…can’t read them due to fading. The new vacuum advance distributor has a single wire from the distributor attached to the points and the condenser through the body of the distributor.
Question:
Does the wire from the vacuum distributor attach to the positive side of the coil? Is the distributor then grounded to the engine when installed with the clamp? If this is so should the ground wire be disconnected from the distributor? Is a new coil needed?
