there are three wires on the positive connection on the top of the coil. One of those three wires is thinner than the rest. Where does that wire connect from the positive side of the coil to where???? I cannot find where this wire connects, as a result the coil has no spark, the car turns over and gets gas but no spark. This happened while driving down the road. I think this wire is the issue??? the other two wires are connected and fine. could you provide a picture of where this wire goes?

There are three wires attached to the positiive terminal of the coil.
Black with a white stripe
Black with a brown stripe
and a thinner all black wire.
It is the thinner all black wirer that is attached at the coil but not at the other end.

Where does the other end connect?

Thank you

The black wire at coil positive terminal is spliced in with the black and white wire that goes back to the ignition switch.
