1975 MGB ignition wiri
Hi John
There are two power wires attached to the + terminal of the coil. They are coloured white with a light green stripe. They should be disconnected and taped out of the way. Take your new power supply directly from the White side of fuse number 3. I would use a plain white wire for this.
I attach part of the wiring diagram for a 1975 UK specification MGB. The ballast resistor is the zig-zag wire between the coil (39) and the fusebox (19).
