Hey everyone, i have pulled the engine out of my B120 and have been doing a bit of work re-wiring etc...

i got to the little white thing (looks like an olden day fuse off a house meter board) and wasn't sure what it was.

i plan on putting an A15 in the ol girl which has an elctronic dizzy, and can remember reading somewhere that you don'y need the ballast resistor (whatever that is) with a dizzy like mine... so what is this thing and can i get rid of it?


secondly on the old engine there were lots of emmissions pipes running everywhere. i've got rid of most of them but was wondering about the ones on the bottom right of the the photo... are they even emissions pipes? i think they go back to the carbon canister or something? so can i get rid of them too?

any help is much appreciated.

That white thing is the coil's ballast resistor. If you change to a "12V" coil when you switch to the electronic ignition, then you don't need it. Wire the two wires together (i think).

thats right give the ballast the flick and solder it up...also those picks u can get rid of

thanks alot boys.

i'll be sure to post pics of when i get the new engine in...

The 2 pipes are for your fuel tank to breathe through. 1 is for air in (Air filter), 1 is for air out (PCV or Carbon canister)

Fuel vapors have to go somewhere. . .

but its really only 1 pipe. it just has 2 rubber hoses on the end of it...

so what medicine do you recomend? considering that there is nowhere to put them on the webers, where do i put them?

what has everyone else done to the hoses/line?

Sorry, 2 hoses, 1 in and one out. . .





Does the Webber manifold have no provision for PCV?

If not, I would just plumb it all through a carbon canister.

well the manifold does have a little tap thing that i was gonna hook the crank case breather up to. and then there is the vacuum advance little tap, but thats it....

i will investigate under the ute and see exactly where the line goes, then make a decision myself as to what to do.

i would still appreciate tips from people that have run DCOEs before.

anyway thanks Cable_Tie.
