Wot Wire Goes Where

[Guest graham dockerill]

where do the wires go from the electronic ignition amplifier/modual. mine differ from the haynes manual. mine are pin 1 brown (earth) . pin 2 & 3 (dizzy). pin 4 ? black/green . pin 5 black (ign switch/coil+). pin 6 green (coil-). where does green/black go and have I got the others correct. regards Graham.

The ignition coil & dizzy have a separate loom of their own, and there are 3 wires coming into the module from the main car loom.

Green/Yellow & Black/red go to the Dizzy.

Brown goes to earth.

Green goes to the -ive side of the coil and also to the tacho.

Black/Green goes to (eventually) pin 58 on the ignition switch

Black goes to +ive side of the coil, and can either go (eventually) to pin16 on the

ignition switch, or it can be feed from a fuse that is live when the ignition is on.

 

But all this depends if you have this type of ignition module.

Thanks Jim, after over 100 readings of my post I appreciated your reply. Mine is a early (84) engine and i'm sure we are talking about the same inductive discharge system (thats what the manual calls it). The only thing I wondered is where you get your ignition switch numbers from is i've got 15,30 and 50 on mine. Regards Graham.

Go for your numbers, my manual is VERY well thumbed on that particular page, making it hard to read the symbols.

Hi Jim

 

If your Haynes manual is knackered let me know the pages you need and I will send you PDF's.

 

Cheers

Have you got copies of all the scribbling in the margin etc? thanks anyway, I hope i don't need it much anyway.
