[Healeys] FW: Healey "Security" Circuit

[Jonas Payne]

When the switch in the trunk is flipped, is it supposed to be interrupting the
black white ground or is it supposed to be grounding it out?

The power will go to ground via the path of least resistance, so my theory is
that an ignition system (capacitor, spark plug, etc.) has lots of resistance,
so if the switch in the trunk is "on" then the black/white wire is not
grounded.  and when "off" the coil will ground itself out and no power will be
making it to the dist.  Right?

If that's the case, I can isolate this variable in my not working ignition by
disconnecting it in the trunk and making sure it isn't grounded.

The wiring diagram does not indicate which side of the switch the black and
white wire is actually on in the trunk.

If not as described above, is it a "flow" item similar to the ignition light
(charge/discharge) indicator?  And if so, How do I then Isolate it.
