Oh 1 more thing.
My buddy was all confident that he could hook it up, so he wired it up, but he had the two wires backwards. He also spliced the black/yellow mentioned in the above post into the red wire (which was going into the white wires spot because of backwards install).
I tried starting the car and smoke starting flowing out of the distributor. We opened it up and the black/yellow wire was melted. I couldnt see any other harm done, but I didnt take the rotor off or anything to do a thourough investigation. The smoke had to have come from somewhere though I'd imagine, I doubt it was all from the wire.
I stopped at that point and decided to go online to see if anyone had a diagram. luckily i see one posted, and it shows me that he had installed them backwards.
Before trying again I want to make sure I have it all set up correctly.
