Didn't see anything like that on mine. All looks good and clean no burning. I took the coil off because it was leaking oil. Its been on since I bought it in 1987 and the oil is leaking so I am going to replace it. If its not it, I probably need to replace anyway.

Can anyone tell me where the wires go. Lost track of which go where. Ya, I know, should of marked them had a buddy over and was doing 3 things at one time and forgot what the heck was where. Guess I'm getting old.

I had 4 wires 2 on each coil terminal post. One I believe is a tach wire. This is what I have:
approx. 12 ga. grey
approx 14 ga. blk/yel stripe
approx 12 ga. brown
approx 16 ga. brn.
