tried upgrading to electronic ignition to get rid of misfire etc long story but fitted new set of points and condensor after all.
no spark.. sadly I didn't make note of all wires to and from coil. hence very confused. workshop manual not helping though a guide. says 2 wires yellow and white to positive coil and one wire black and white to negative.
i have three black and white wires.. with two joined by factory.. presumably to negative coil connection. still no spark. ballasted wire from ignition. coil check shows good with both primary and secondary readings within spec.
volts from black and white cable shows 4.5v ! battery is giving 12.5v
has anybody a pic or two ? or can draw a coil connection(s) for this old lady at 39 years old would be nice to get her back on road and see if V8 still has thrust and joy. the dizzy has no electronic module .
not sure if i can post e-mail address here..will check back soon though ,thanks for reading. special thanks if you can assist.
