1978 242GT ignition coil wire diagram

Post by T64me »

I've found a couple ignition coil wire diagrams online, but the both have one wire on each side of the coil. My coil has 3 wires on one side and 2 on the other. I recently purchased this car. There is no spark. I'd like to check the coil wiring. If anyone can help me with a proper wiring diagram, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks for posting this, but I know the coil is toast as the connection point in the center is corroded. I really need to confirm that the wires that go to the + and - are in the correct location. If anyone has this info, please post it. Thanks!
