On the distributor there are 6 wires on one connector. 4 go to a 4 terminal connector into the harness, where do the other two go? On appears to be black, the other grey. Mine are cut, and can't remember why when we removed the wiring harness.
Thanks!

I know the two that run to the coil.

So that leaves the ICM then I guess. Thanks!

Ok they come out of the distributor, but where do they go then? They are like 5 inches long roughly. they are both dark colored. I see the connector that goes into the distributor, but it also has those two extra wires that come out of the distributor, but I don't know where they go. There are a total of 6 wires coming out of the distributor.

Looks like an 84 distributor? The coil on the 84 has 4 wires, black, brown, black with a pink tracer, and a big pink one.

Yes 84. Which colors go together? I have an accel super coil. I think po spliced the pink and ?? Wire into an orange up to the coil and a black with the other one into a yellow wire.

I did a writeup on converting the 84 coil to the newer style:

Im kind of lost. I have a black/grey with a (pink?) stripe. Does that one go with the pink one or the dark colored one?

Perhaps this will help...a verified full color 84 engine wiring diagram.
