[ihc] Prestolite wire

[william cunningham <slypigs@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

While trying to troubleshoot a problem with my 1977 345 with a 1979 
Prestolite dist. I
noticed a wire that is not connected. The red and black wires are 
connected to the coil
but the white wire is connected to nothing and I doubt it ever has been 
in the last 6+
years of my ownership. I don't have a manual for the year this dist. was 
used so I am at
a slight disadvantage.
Should I worry about this disconnected wire? Could it have any bearing 
on what feels like
a miss/hesitation or surge/detonation situation? The RPM's swing +/- 50 
at 2000 RPM,
idle is fine at 625 RPM, a little hesitation/shudder when leaving idle, 
exceleration feels
smooth and normal once it gets to 1000 RPM and up.
I put a fresh cap and rotor on, changed the fuel filter, and fixed the 
slight exhaust leak,
no joy yet.
Waiting for the day to cool off before I check the timing.
