Dave Massey and Glen Rattman have schooled me some on the wires coming
from the coil.  Yes the wire was tan&pink and had woven insulation. 
Glen said it had "special resistance wire".  I replaced it with 12 guage
solid copper wire.  Wrong guess, I guess huh.  Also, from within the
wrapping of the tape on the harness there seemed to be a black oily
substance.  Graphite perhaps?  Or did this come from within the "special
resistance wire"?
Were I to change to a Lucas Sport coil would I even need this wire to go
to it?
And, lastly, will any coil do?  I would think not since I had gotten one
two weeks ago from Pep Boys - a Borg-Warner is all I know and it didn't
seem to have enough kick to really excite the car to start
enthusiasticly.
Sooo, where do I go from here?  How long can I drive with the weird wire
I have?
