Can anyone help me to know which terminal wires go to which terminal on my new ignition coil? There's a red/white wire and a blue wire. The terminals are labeled -1 and +15. Based on their position using my old coil as a guide, it looks like the red/white goes to the -1 and the blue goes to the +15....

I finally got back to the fuel lines and I removed the line from the tank side and cranked it over. Fuel came flowing out at a pretty good clip. Now that it seems the lines are clear from that point back to the tank, what's the next thing that could be clogged? fuel distributor? injectors? any sugge...

I have an '87 240 that's been off road for 2 years. It ran fine before I took it out of service. It's a father/son project to get it running and sold.
