So I have been looking for a good wire diagram for my 72 240Z. This is the diagram that keeps popping up and its useless. Nothing on this one makes any sense.

I am working on my coil and points. I am not getting any power when I have the key on. Plus when I put the key on start I get no power on the starter wire. All I am looking to do is run a jumper power wire so I can get spark and hear this motor run. I have a remote starter switch for the starter.

With what this diagram shows I should be able to take the Black\white at the resistor and run pos 12 volts at that point. Now if I do that I get the coil acting like a short with the wire getting warm and starting ta smoke if left hooked up.

I had thought I should be able to run a hot wire to the resistor. Then from the resistor to the POS. on the coil. With the NEG side of the coil going to the dis.

What am I doing wrong here????

This is driving me nuts!!!! I need this car running!!!! please help.
