negative coil wire

[85general]

can anyone tell me on a stock 85 2.8 which wire is the neg. coming off the coil ? its for a tach

 

[Bob Ayers]

It's the dark green/yellow wire.

 

[85general]

does it go through a plug then is a black wire that goes into a litle round metal cylinder thing mounted to the side of the coil?

 

[BlackBII]

That's a radio noise surpressor

 

[85general]

ok if its not that one my choices are two tan ones

No, that is the +12V side, and blackbII is correct, that is a noise suppression capacitor.

 

[85general]

oh ok then so which ones the neg.?

 

[BlackBII]

Should be green dude
