Just when the Carmine '78 B was running the best it ever has (in my time of possession), along comes the oddest short I've ever seen. This is the B that had the melted pink/white ballast wire a while

Went out again as inspiration struck. Disconnected the switch at the molded connector and connected the cable and the lights were still on. The switch is probably okay. Now I get to do surgery on the

The 78 B seems to have a short I am having trouble running down. There is a white/pink stripe wire that has apparently gotten more than its' fair share of current as the insulation has separated enou

So, if one end goes to the + side of the coil, where does the other end terminate? I don't relish the idea of splitting open the harness more than necessary and would like to bypass the original wire

The 78 B tunes up fine and I can even get the idle set to specs, but there seems to be a buildup of vacuum at the distributor. After driving and getting up to 4th, the idle goes up to 1200 from 900.
