two positives to coil?
I have two wires going IN to my coil - one is obviously the ignition controlled positie, where would the other one be from?

I have obviously looked in the manual, but it only shows one wire entering...

Re: two positives to coil?
the other way of looking at it is where does it go to ?

Hmn... never thought of that... is there anything that is SUPPOSED to run from the coil like that?

Re: two positives to coil?
or a 'fix' when the original wire failed somewhere in the loom?

Does the car have electronic ignition fitted? These kits tend to have a second wire off the +ve to power the ignition unit.
