New coil and leads

[Tom09tom]

Hi all

Is this coil suitable for a 2liter pinto?

I'm not getting a spark and since I don't know the age or condition of the coil, thought I would get a new one.

While I'm at it I'm going to change the leads as well. https://simonbbc.com/Ford-Pinto-OHC-HT-Leads-8mm-Double-Silicone#product-reviews

 Are these suitable? Thanks.

Hi,

Is that this one? 

eBay link

Thanks.

I have read a lot about recent accuspark distributors chewing up the aux shaft and ruining engines. I think it has only started happening in the last few years. Mine is 6 years old and fine. If you look at kit car Facebook groups there are a lot of very unhappy people so I would be careful.

Could this be part of my no spark problem? 

 

The wiring going into is a bit of a mess, what does it do? 

Thanks for any help.

That's your electronic ignition module. More info available here:

Thanks

Been doing some reading, if I were to buy the kit from the eBay link, could I  get rid of the black box?. I'd then have a full new ignition system and hopefully a more reliable setup.

So, I went ahead and bought the kit from the eBay link above. New dizzy, coil, leads and plugs. Fitted it yesterday, cut all the untidy wiring for the motorcraft box out, Much neater now. Fired straight up, hopefully more reliable now :).

Hi, 

Sorry I don't know. But 5 months after putting that kit on, I've had no problems since.
