[TR] Facet Pump

[Alex]

Hey Bob,
Ok, now I am still confused. Some facts I should have stated.
1. My 3 is a negative ground car.
2. My Facet pump is only for negative ground cars.
3. The black wire on the pump comes with an eye connector for grounding 
already on the black wire. The instructions show black as ground.
4. The instructions indicate attaching the red to the newly installed oil 
pressure switch "P" terminal. (No oil pressure installed). Which indicates 
to me positive.
5. The harness white wire goes to the "Neg" side of my coil.
6. The "Neg" terminal of the coil goes to the distributor.
Does this help?
Alex
