Red and white wires off distributor
Does anyone know which wire is the positive and negative off a 1986 carb'd 22r distributor. I'm installing an MSD 6A and don't know how to test the polarity of the magnetic pickup. Thanks!

MSD 6A without ignitor:
Heavy red wire = Battery 12V +
Heavy black wire = Ground
Small red wire = switched 12V (beige wire originally to ignitor)
Small white wire = NOT USED (make sure it won't ground on body)
Small purple wire = violet wire from distributor
Small green wire = white wire from distributor
Small orange wire = + side of coil
Small black wire = - side of coil
