umm....... does ur dist. have 3 wires? The positive goes to the solenoid. It sounds like u bit off more than u can chew on this one. Your description is awfully confusing. You need some kind of crank signal to make the electronic ignition work

the car ran when i went to buy it but i agreed to buy it as a rolling chassis and the guy lives like 800mi away so i cant really ask him if he butchered anything when he pulled the engine but basically all the wires have connectors except a couple....yes it has a 3 wire connector on the dist.

So what r u missing? the actual connector? Is the coil connected? I have never worked on a 460 before so I'll help as much as possible but I'm not sure exactly what uare lookin for here.
