[Healeys] Fwd: RE: Black/white wire

[sbyers at ec.rr.com]

Yeah, Earl, I was right in my thinking, but wrong in reality.  Gary Anderson is 
correct:  You can't disconnect the black/white wire at the coil because then 
you'll also be disabling the distributor.   I was thinking that there were two 
separate black/white wires attached to a double terminal on the coil, but that 
would be defeating the purpose, wouldn't it? 
 
You can only disconnect the black/white wire at the cutoff switch and not at the 
coil if you're going to continue to drive the car afterwards. 
 
On another note, I'm at Southeastern Healey Classic XXI in Little Switzerland, 
NC.  After months and months of drought here in western NC, the skies opened up during the night with a deluge and the rain has continued all day!  The rally 
(and pretty much everything else) is on hold until tomorrow.  The weather is 
supposed to improve, I think. 
 
Sorry, Earl
