Hi,
I just finished installing my new engine. (2.2 with 44IDFs.) It is getting fuel ok but just doesn't get any spark. It has a oo9 distributor with a black and red wire. There is no green wire as on the stock dist. There is a black wire and also a black and purple wire from the harness. The wiring diagrams in the Haynes book doesn't have the oo9 distributor. Is there any other wiring I should have done to accomodate the oo9 dist.? If anyone has done a similar conversion, please help.

Thanks, Elliot

There is a green wire coming from the condensor. it goes to the - side of the coil. Unless you have gone to the pointless ignition.

Hi,
Sorry. I should have added that I do indeed have pointless ignition. Just a black wire and a red wire coming from the dist.
Cheers, Elliot

If it's a Pertronix go here:

Be careful, if you hook it up backwards it will fry instantly.

The black wire from the diz and the black/wpurple stripe from the harness go to - side of coil. The red from diz and black from harness go to + side of coil.
