Angry please help... electrical problem

Hey guys... another question. This is driving me crazy, so please help! I am not getting any juice out of my ignition coil. If ai'm not mistaken, there should be three wires on the coil. One from the ignition (+), and two to the distributor. (Electronic ignition). Mine also has a negative wire to the coil, which is also hot. (?) I just replaced the coil, so I know it's good. Even if I hook a hot wire right from the battery instead of the ignition, I still get nothing from the coil. WHY?!?! sorry for the long post...

Hello

One cable is black7red and ignition goes to 15. There is also a condesatorconnectet to the unit sits normaly on the base from the coil. You can leave that away

On 4 you should have the green wire from the braker contact and the black/ violet cable for the tach.


Don´t know how your electronic ignition is hooked up but usally one to plus (15) one to trigger (4) and maybe one ground (31).

Check dwell angle and timing.

For testing run a probe wire vom 15 to the battery.

Grüsse
