Aspire coil in dist conversion to Festy dist with external

[darkdan]

and it's magnetic pickup right?

So where are the + and - for that?

coil

the large plug on aspire is for ecu cam , ecu crank signal , power and grounds , the small plug is the power for coil and the negative trigger from the ignition module ( inside aspire distributor ) it also used for rpm in cluster.

[darkdan]

hmmmm.

Yeah, well here's the instructions:

If anyone has a clue as to what wire I'm supposed to hook where.

[yvanlavoie20]

wire

white wire , in to the transistor in distributor, you need to remove the coil and it is the flat terminal under ignition plate.

Oh man, why does this sound like it just got complicated?

thanks yvan.

Well theirs only 3 wires going to the coil. The , tach, a one used for testing. The to , the tach you'd probably have to wire up a adapter and the testing one dunno. You don't need to mess with the other connector.

[darkdan]

ah ha!

It finally sank in. I have to remove the coil from the dist to find both leads! Then hook up the white wire like yvan said. So I can't use the outside wires at all.

God, I hope this is easier then I think.

[darkdan]

Alright, the next stupid question, how do I remove the coil from the disty?

I see a couple of screws on the outside that look like they hold the top half to the bottom half, but I don't have a 90 degree screwdriver short enough to get in there. Is that what I need?

[darkdan]

ah ha!

There's a second in the middle of the post the rotor sticks onto, but I don't know if I should undo that.
