Re: 351 windsor intermittent starting issues
I have a '85 inboard ski centurion and I am having this EXACT same issue. Did you resolve it? Someone bypassed the external resistor and attached the purple harness wire to a black wire (hot) that runs directly to the coil. The pink wire runs from the negative post on the coil to the distributor and there is a red wire (assuming negative post on coil) and a grey wire (positive post?) too. What is wrong? Does the new coil have to have an internal regulator? Which wires are positive, which are negative?
