Medicine_Man Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 oh, too far away for me to look at it, lol! Here is a wiring diagram, Hope it helps.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Have you got power to the +ve side of the coil when the ignition is on? have you got power to the +ve side of the coil while cranking? (different wire) Have you got power to the dizzy from the -ve side of the coil?? If so then start looking inside the dizzy. let us know- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowie55 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Double check all the wiring for your coil and the ballast resonator(little rectangular white box) with medicine_man's wiring diagram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtbagke70 Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 yea i got them wires but wea duz that little white box go i pluged it in and it just glowed orange ill try a new coil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Don't buy stuff until you understand how it all works! The "white box" is a ballast resistor that cuts the voltage from 12v down to 8volts. You should have an 8V coil that will burn out under constant 12v usage, that was the stock setup. So normally ignition power goes through the resistor and the coil , and it runs happily on 8v. However cranking power, from a separate wire connected to the last ignition key spot, bypasses the ballast resistor and supplies 12v straight to the coil while you are cranking the starter motor. This is because the starter draws so much power it drops the 12v battery power down to 8v, so your coil works beautifully. Without that setup you would have a 12V coil trying to start a car on only 8v, and it would be a very weak spark. So, carefully draw us a wiring diagram as you have it hooked up, stick up a photo or two and someone on here might spot a problem. Otherwise you can end up buying a shitload of stuff you don't need.
