Dizzy Wiring

[carlknight1982]

Well we progress! thanks to AshG I now have the last parts I need for my ignition set up,

now i need to pick the collective brains of you guys, I have an electronic dizzy with 3 wires, an ignition module with 6 wires and a coil with ballast resistor

anyone shed some light on what goes where?

cheers guys

where did they come from?

I am assuming this is a Pinto setup do you not have the engine loom?

Is the plug on the Dizzy roundish?

yep the plug on his dizzy is round. it all come off my 1600 pinto. had everything other than the loom as another forum member nabbed that off me.

this is the diagram that dogwood did ages ago. i think we agreed at the time that the black wire should be a switched live and not a constant live but think that's about it.

Ok... Should be....

Module

1 Brown ( Circuit 31-29 ) -- Goes to body Earth
2 Black + Red ( Circuit 15-13 ) -- Distributor
3 Green + Yellow ( Circuit 1-5 ) -- Distributor
4 Black + Green ( Circuit 50-7 ) -- To starter solenoid Black + Blue
5 Black ( circuit 15-1 ) -- To Ignition Live at ignition switch ( Black + Green )
6 Green ( Circuit 1-3 ) -- To Coil -VE terminal

Coil

+12V to Black+Green at ignition switch.
-ve to module pin 6

thanks guys, so i take it the ballast resistor is inline with the coil +VE feed

and that the starter solinoid feed is a the switched live from the ignition feed?

[twinturbo]

I don't think it's a balast, there's no point having one unless it's switched during cranking and none of the diagrams show this nor is there any wiring for it. As far as I am aware all sierras use 12V coils at 12V all the time.

I think it's a surpressor or something. I would have to have a good look at one.

ah, thats a possibility but i dont want to wire it up without it incase i blow the coil, i'll post a picture of it tonight when i getback from work.
