OK,
On to phase three of the Unilite install. I got the dizzy drive properly indexed and the dizzy set at TDC on #1. I verified by thumb-over-hole and by watching the valves. Now I am getting no spark out of the dizzy. Car ran on 009 dizzy two days ago. Replaced coil with new Bosch blue and installed the Unilite. I have checked and replaced all of the spade terminal ends, so I should have good contacts. From the Unilite, I have the brown wire to engine block ground, the green wire to coil neg (I assume that's the one with the minus sign), and red wire to coil positive (the one marked "15"). I say no spark, because I am getting no flash from a timing light (which worked two days ago, and shows to have power--it's digital). Attached is a pic of the coil. Let me know where to go from here....  |

Jake,
Thanks for taking the time to reply... I purchased the unit NIB from a board member, not from the TIV store, and as such, your free advice is greatly appreciated. So, what's done is done at this point. Should the correct hookup be tach signal and green mallory wire on one side and red mallory and 12v to the other? I'm still trying to determine the origin of the yellow fused wire. Provided the unit is fried... a new one is available from Mallory for a Benjie, right? Thanks again for the free advice. (P.S.--when I hit the lottery, I'll be in line for one of your engines!!!) --jaybird |
