I have a 1976 2.0. I purchased a Bosch blue coil . I know the green condensor wire goes to neg #1 on the coil. It wont start this way. When I move it to the positive post it starts. What is going on with this. Crossed wires somwhere else?

I don't believe you can have _both_ points and switched +12 on Terminal 15 so - tell us _everything_ connected to the coil, and to what terminal. |

Where is that ? The 'black' wire - where does that go? Try leaving it off - it's probably the tach (should have a violet tracer...) Then - black and red to Terminal 15 (+) - first verify that this is your switched +12 And the points wire to Termina1 1 (-). Are there other wires connected to the distributor? Where do they go... The Kettering ignition system is dirt-simple, but it does have a few rules... |

Since sooner or later someone is bound to encounter this same problem - what was where, and what did you do to fix it ? Where did you wind up connecting the black wire, and what did it do ? |
