wiring

Agree with BAZ on the coil.

+Ve must be an ignition live feed.
-Ve must be a wire to the correct control module for the engine ( ESC, ESC2, ESC-Hybrid,EEC-IV or TFI )

sorry should have said it is a pinto 2 lt engine, no fancy stuff ie ecu or anything like that hope this helps this engine has points

[misty]

meant to say also that on the solenoid there are 2 pillars and 2 spade terms can someone tell me what these are for please the large one is for the batt cable and the alt cable

[twinturbo]

Where did the engine come from? what connections are on the DIZZY?

can you get a pic of the solenoid?

If the engine has points then there should be a condensor unit on the outside of the dizzy and a wire , this goes to the coil -VE.

ok starter solonoid will have 2 big studs 1 in for the fat + cable from bat and one out that should still be conected to a short link to the motor.
then there is a smaller stud or terminal that works the solonoid its possible the extra one is linked to this
