So i just went out there again and was looking closely the green condenser wire was off the coil but it has those pointless ignition or what ever its call no idea about that so I wasn't sure.. anyway I hooked the green wire back up and she fired up but I shut it down to make sure my wires are correct..
Here is another expanded view of my motor I can't seem to find the engine numbers??  |

Here is another expanded view of my motor I can't seem to find the engine numbers?? A few things, the underside of the rotor shaft hole will reveal a raised portion that coincides with a cutout in the distributer shaft. Use those landmarks to align rotor in the future. In my experience if the rotor is not fully seated the cap will not go back on. Second the green wire attaches to the coil but it does seem that you have a "pointless" ignition so the condenser lead should be useless now. 3rd the zip ties on the cylinder #4 plug lead look pretty sketchy to me. Are they holding he wire together? You say the car now starts and runs? Go with it. |
