You'll should have 2 wires running to your coil now. One is the resistance wire going to the bulkhead connector on the firewall. That provides a lower voltage to the coil while the engine is running. The other wire, yellow I believe, goes to the starter, it provides a full 12v to the coil while cranking the engine.

I removed the resistance wire from the bulkhead connector. Got a new lug to plug in and ran a new wire from there. I've heard that connector does not provide power during cranking on all year Chevelles. If yours does than remove the yellow wire, set the timing and you're done. If it doesn't then you need to find a 12v source that is active while starting or marry the yellow wire to the source.

Hope that wasn't confusing, if so send me a PM. We can talk on the phone if necessary. It's a simple swap once you understand what's needed.
