The question is the existing receptacle circuit has 2 blacks and a white wire instead of black, red and white. Of course the wires from the new cooktop say connect the black from the cooktop to black in the junction box and the red from the cooktop to the red in the junction box. Am I correct that the two blacks on the receptacle are the same as if they used one black and one red. And therefore I can connect either black to the black from the cooktop and the other black to the red from the cooktop? Is that correct? I know changing to 4-wire is best, but given the location of the island where the cooktop is going running new wire would be near impossible.

He will test the circut with a multimeter and then hook it up properly.
