Pertronix Distributor Wiring?

[BJ7archaeologist]

Fellow Healeyoids, I'm in the process of hooking up a Pertronix Distributor on my 63 BJ7. My Healey was running fine on the old points. I burned out or it was bad to begin with the first Pertronix distributor I installed one month ago. I have a rebuilt unit now.
Here is my question, my car has been converted to negative ground, that is for certain. I also have an alternator. I have new Bosch plug wires that are not solid core wire but carbon fiber as per the instructions and a new Pertronix coil. It is only two simple leads, one to the neg and one to the pos of the coil. Easy! Now, which way are the wires to go from the harness with a neg ground car to the coil? Does the B/W lead go to the pos or the neg? The solid white wire will go to the other terminal then. Thanks!

Does the B/W lead go to the pos or the neg?

Yes, They go to the NEG terminal

The solid white wire will go to the Positive
terminal.

On a negative ground car, the white wire goes to the + terminal along with the red wire from the Pertronix. The white with black stripe goes to the - terminal along with the black wire for the Pertronix. If you are using an original coil, the CB terminal is + and the SW is -
Hope this helps.

With the Pertronix Ignitor module, there is only a black/white wire if you have the positive ground version. Is it different with the Pertronix distributor?
