Posted January 2, 20178 yr comment_509406 In the yellow and black wire loom going to the temp sensor, my black wire is not hooked up. I thought it went to the distributor. (Spade connector for the old points?). I'm running some electronic distributor of some sort. I checked the wiring and engine diagram but didn't see it marked anywhere. Just curious. Car runs fine. On a side note, over the holidays I got the: - Tach to work - Brake lights and directionals going - Cigarette lighter working - Found out what's wrong with my headlight switch - New Brake booster installed (Warning Don't lose the clip on the large pin for the pedal. Luckily I found it. Seems the 73-83 pin is the same and available, but not the 70-71. - Visors and Rear view mirror installed.

January 2, 20178 yr comment_509417 if you ground that yellow wire, with the ignition on, your temperature gauge should jump up to "full".

January 14, 20178 yr comment_510219 nice pic! Thats my distributor. Yes, the yellow wire goes to the temp sensor and the black goes to the points. I usually pull that wire if I don't want spark.
