MilesFox Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Black wire with red terminal is pos, yellow wires are neg. there should be a little capacitor on the strut tower goes to neg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captin Hook Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 Sweet thank you! Now what about a tach signal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captin Hook Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Got it all wired up today, black with white line 12v switch, heavy red to battery, heavy black to ground, orange to pos on coil, small black to coil neg, black wire with white strip from dizzy to coil pos, white wire from msd box to yellow wire from dizzy, got LED on msd box to show the triggers but no start. Crank but not start. Don't know going to go back over all my wiring next chance I get. Any input would sure be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captin Hook Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Old set up still works, new blast Ss coil with cap worked like old, hard to start, take cap out on new coil, works good starts easy, as soon as I hook up the cdi box crank no start.

Captin Hook Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 What kinda of pick up is in the dizzy? Points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quidam Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I have an ACCELL 300 MSD box with a 375 box in addition. This is made for any car with a distributor and a carb or stand alone fi. I'll be using the large cap Hitachi disty with a mag pickup, altho I can use the optical disty with this for crank angle sensor... Anyway, map sensor, nitros, multiple rev control, spark retard, start retard, by gear retard,and more. Hand held display vac, boost, total control of ignition. Going on an EA 82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disom93 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Its not points its a electronic inside disty i guess its magnetic im new to all this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captin Hook Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 Yeah it's a cake walk wiring wise. Cold start up is far better then stock. When I started it was bone stock, started with the msd box and coil, idled better and seemed to have a bit more upper end power to red line but my butt dyno might need a weather correction. After I ditched the shittichi carb and picked up a weber,swaped intakes with a carbed ea82 and added a wideband to aide in tuning my brats running awesome. Be as I live in eastern Washington were in a cold snap and it's been cold as spoob and the ol'ea81 rattles to life with a pump of the gas and 4 roll overs and she's good to go. I'm about due for an oil change I'm still running summer oil 10w40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captin Hook Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 I'm not sure either, I hear the one you want is a 2wd dizzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
