procomp distributor and coil wiring

I bought a procomp dist and coil and need help on the wiring. I understand red wire to + side of coil, I also have a short red wire coming off of main red where might this go? Black goes to -side of coil, I also have a short wire coming off black,where might this go? I have a long wire that goes to 12 volt source. My car is a 65 belvedere, do I bypass resistor or go to ign side with long wire? Also there is an opening on bottom of dist, which I assume is opening to adjustable mech advance,shouldn't there be a cover over this opening?

which distributor do you have? mine was 2 wire hook-up - both wires to coil

first what distributor do you have? Pro comp sells a several

I believe a 7000 series. It starts as a two wire, but has the other wires after the plugin.

Then you have a setup similar to landon1 then.

So the other you speak of ‘T’s off of the red wire this goes to the keyed power source.

Again this wire is ‘T’ed off? I would think it would go to your tachometer.

So you have three wires that stem off your distributor or just two main wires? Maybe a picture would help. Hopefully landon1 should be able to give some insight since he has the same setup

Bypass the resistor by removing it. Connect these wires you unplugged together and connect this to you red power lead on the distributor
