V8 conversion wiring
Hi all
Just doing a 3.9 rv8 conversion and want to clarify what you do with the coil feeds. I have fitted a 12v lucas 198 coil and am not sure what to do with the ballast resistance wire. Do you cut it out and replace with a 12v feed? If so anyone got any pointers Its a 1975 rubber bumper with 3.9 and 35dlm 3 pin dizzy Merry xmas |

Re: V8 conversion wiring
As I mentioned in your other thread,
[forum.britishv8.org] I believe this is a ballast coil, so it needs a ballasted feed. Putting a constant 12V into a ballast coil will fry it. Do sympathise with your problems, I had no-start issues with my engine, it's very annoying. When you do get it going, there was an interesting thread about PCVs [forum.britishv8.org] Ivor |
