> Hi all,

> I am looking for help from the electrical wizards on the list before I
finish hooking up the Painless 12 circuit fuse box on my 1951 GMC.

> 1. One of the steps (in the rather brief instruction sheet) asks me to
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??

> 2. The starter solenoid has three terminals. The large middle
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??
>
> The rest of the wiring is going well and with some luck I think that I
will be able to fire up the beast tomorrow!!

> Thanks in advance for your help.
