There should be two wires to the positive side of the coil since it is a
ballasted coil. One wire is the ballast wire (tan or pink. after all
these years the color fades) and has a woven insulation. The other wire is
the "Start" wire from the start relay (or solenoid, depending on the year.
I forget which on the 74) However, it sounds like you have solved the
electrical problem.
Good for you!
