    Odd coil problem 78 1000

    Trying to figure out which coils to hook my Martek ignition to I found both my left and right coils have white wires.In my ValorSolo coloured diagram it shows on black one white.Thinking some how it's gotten 2 left coils,possible?

    Sounds logical Greg. Take one of them and wrap black electrical tape around the white wire.

        or even better, slip some black heat shrink tube over one of the white wires, so its easily recognizable and there is no chance of it falling off like the tape could

              It really doesn't matter which color. When I have run into that problem left over from a previous owner, I just run two new wires in the color of my choice. The left coil is cyl 1.4 and connects to the left point set/ignition pick up. The right coil is cyl 2,3 and connects to the right point set.ignition pick up.
