[QUOTE="Mellis4949, post: 191337, member: 13644"] [USER=7664]@lukelaw1[/USER] you are right! So at some point with my light bulb tester, I had probed all 4 prongs out of the engine connector, and the (only) one that made the light bulb light was the one I ASSumed was "the one". This is what my wires look like. The color is a little washed out by the lighting in the picture, but I was a bit thrown off not knowing if the color of the wires was referring to the plastic cover on the wire itself, or the outer (nylon?) frayed part... I guess that is where I tested and then just stuck with the only one that made the bulb light up (and not realizing at the time that two of them should be "hot". The light green one with the red stripe is the neutral indicator that isn't used (loose in the background) I think due to an engine swap that happened before me. [ATTACH=full]68898[/ATTACH] Okay, so this is progress, however small. I pulled the flywheel back off and here are some pics of the stator/points/condenser.
