Can someone tell me what side of the coil the condensor is wired to? The car is a 70 GTO with a points distributor but I have converted it to a Pertronix unit. The condensor I am talking about is NOT the one underneath the cap & rotor. It is the condensor that attaches to the coil bracket.

You are talking about the radio suppression capacitor. I'm positive it goes on the + terminal of the coil.

That's correct. The condenser (capacitor; modern terminology) inside the distributor connects to the (-) side of the coil. Connecting the external capacitor to the (-) side also, will cause ignition problems. As mentioned above, the external capacitor is the radio suppression capacitor.
Regards, George p.s. somehow my post ended up ahead of Held-for-Ransom's instead of after it.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
