Hey just wondering. I have rust hols in my fire wall and wheel well where they join. Was thinking of gettin allbrand new parts. Does any 1 no wher i might be able to get them. Also am putting an L20 bak in so am gonna need a bigger gearbox tunnel. Any ideas on what to use.. thanks

i wired it the way you said to wire it. it still runs and charges took me some time but seems alright i will let you know of any dramas haha cheers ddzongal

The easy fix for the coil is to swap the wires


Quote:The B/W wire should go to the POS side of coil, but in any case a B/W wire is the IGN wire (the main 12V supply for running the engine and most of the accessories including the voltage regulator), so that make a kind of sense that putting 12V right there will make things happen

The right way to do it is POS battery wire (White wire from Fusible Link) to the IGN Toggle switch, then out to positive of the coil ballast resistor (B/W wire). Coil POS connected to ballast resistor (not directly to IGN wire). The coil should not be connected directly to 12V or it won't last long




As you can see from this factory wiring diagram, a branch of the B/W wire should also go to the Fuse Box, thus powering meter (dash), voltage regulator, reverse lights, and wiper/washer/heater(fan)

Does your IGN toggle switch connector the W wire to the B/W wire? That is the correct way to do it. The W wire is the main 12V, and the B/W is the IGN feed/out wire. The toggle switch turns the IGN on


Your wiring is messed up. You have a burnt wire, things aren't working correctly and wire colors are changed?

Now you have a choice:
* Try various changes and see if more things work
or
* Wire it correctly

Doing it correctly doesn't mean you have to go back to the Key start system. You can still use the toggle switch and do it right

The coil is interesting because from the factory, the 1200 coil has two wires:
* NEG terminal: Black wire to Distributor
* POS terminal: B/W wire to Ballast Resistor
If you have more than theses wires it is not stock wiring and may have been modified by a previous owner

the engine will run if these wires are reversed, but is not as efficient. Google coil wiring

i run the BW wire to the neg of the coil and my alteernator started charging again, postive to toggleswitch-then out to positive of the coil?

not sure what the IGN feed and override wire are or go need more detail im sorry,

running alot better now tho

The original ignition switch only has four wires, so it's not complicated at all

The most important thing is to make sure the IGN SWITCH (or your toggle switch) b/w wire feeds the Fuse Box, because almost everything works off the Fuse Box


WHITE: 12V in
B/W: IGN 12V out to Fuse Box
B/Y: STARTER 12V solenoid wire
B/R: COIL STARTER OVERRIDE


If there is an ACC wire, it should only feed the radio and OPTIONAL rear defroster, it should not feed the coil


None of these have anything to do with the indicators, which are fed by the Fuse Box


Coil Wiring:
* NEG goes to distributor
* POS goes to 1) resistor and IGN feed 2) to OVERRIDE wire

sorry its a button start with a relay not a push start i apologize, i think one of the wires burnt up under the dash that goes to the key barrel, seeming i have the toggle switch and button start

it has no accesorries and the battery doesnt charge any ideas? there was a wire that burnt up and i cant figure out where it goes you might know , mechanic from work said it was


EDITED :: i wired the BW wire to the negitive side of coil alternator is charging other stuff is still not working positive is on the toggle switch acc to the positive on coil am i doing something wrong?




p.s- you have helped me tonnes ddgonzal i like the info really helps

push start works too unless it is uphill


Indicators/Turn Signals (Flashers) work off the main Fuse Box fuse H marked 'HORN/STOP/HAZARD'

I would first check to see if there is 12V on both sides of the fuse
1. Turn ignition to ON
2. Pull Indicator lever to left side
3. Check the voltage

got a new alternator running :). i just put in a push start instead of the key barrel, i can drive the car but i have no indicators.... any ideas why?

35A alternator has no problems with EI. 30A is a problem even with points ignition, meaning if the headlights, wipers and heater fan are all on it may not be charging fully

You can use the standard sparkplug gap of 0.035"/0.9mm. Whether you can use a larger gap depends on the type of EI distributor you have. What ya got installed?
