Thanks for the input everyone. I replaced the coil and connected it with the + going to the distributor. The pencil test was inconclusive for me. With the old connection the flare did appear to be on the wire side. With the new coil it was hard to tell what side it was on. The truck still starts and runs good but the coil and wiring change didn't help the higher speed power. I'll have to keep looking.
