1974 Manta with AC

[OpelJim]

This one has a black wire and a green white wire joined together (looks like it is from the factory as the harness is original) and connected to the positive side of the coil. The other wire is the transparent resistor wire to the other positive side prong
Anyone else ever seen this before? A green white wire ???

Actually it is a light blue/white(could pass as green) wire that is joined to the black wire on the coil + side. This wire is part of the charging circuit/indicator light and drove me nuts trying to find it in the dash area on my Ascona.

My car had several colors that started as factory colors and ended up as something else. But that is all over now since I rewired the complete car and got all circuits to work.

Unless I am completely color blind it is green and white.
Did I tell you about the Pirate who walked into my shop
He had a big problem
His GT steering wheel was attached to his "groin" (well it was attached to something sticking out from his groin, if you know what I mean)
I asked him what on earth was he doing with the wheel there?
He said, "I do not know arrgh all I know is it is driving me nuts!! arrgh"

I will check the wires again and take a pic to show you posting it next time
but hey thanks for the reply and the straight man openning to the joke
All the best
Jim
