I'm in desperate need of help with this CDI wiring on my conversion. The wiring I pulled off the 77' is just in horrible condition, as you will see in the pictures below, and I wouldn't be surprised if the wires are colored wrong or spliced wrong.

I'm not sure where each of the leads go, and I can't seem to find anything on an assortment of diagrams.

Four wire to a 3 pin CDI box. Look at the end of the box ... terminals are labeled "A", "B" & "C"

"A" = to Terminal 15 on transformer (not an effin' coil).

"B" = Switched power B+

"C" = Tach input & trigger wire from points

Last wire CDI case to ground (spade terminal)

Is this the part where you slap me in the back of the head and say, 'Don't make me have to tell you again, kid"

Thanks Ron!

I was thinking more of a kick and not in the back of the head.

The connector in your pic had a mate and probably is the tach wire / B+ if there are 2 wires. Long harness went to transformer / dizzy (other side of transformer goes to ground - Terminal 1). Lonely wire is the ground on the CDI case.

Ok, so I've started pulling everything out, and I'm sure I'll have to do some work on this portion of the harness, as you've seen, it's pretty rough. Just have a few more questions...

I have the Red wire going to the positive terminal on the battery, my only issue now is that I don't know which of the white wires is which, because I have a Permatune Box and the numbers/letters don't seem to be there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Was this the connector you where talking about, Ron (see first picture)?
