Re: distributor wire
Its just a matter of how the wires are located. Originally Ford put the key switch between the coil and points so the coil is 'hot' all the time. Most though have the key before the coil so the coil is 'cold' with the key off. I'm thinking yours is the 'newer' way. A test light or volt meter would easily check this. If the primary lead was from the negative coil terminal to the distributor points/condensor then just install the new primary lead from Bert's the same way. The fat end screws into the distributor hole and the power will end going to the same place [ points]. I would still recommend measuring the voltage to the points, but, if you weren't burning up points before you should be fine.
