I want to know how to fit the magnetronic ignition kit onto 45d4 distributor.

I do not have the instructions that are supplied only a diagram showing the assembly. (2cnd hand kit)

where do the red and black wire's attach too

where does the magnetic disc slot on in relation to the rotor arm.

The condenser will need removed what do i do with the wire that was attached to this.

I've tried a search but it seems people dont have trouble fitting the kits as its straight forward with the instructions.I'm sure its very simple please can somebody help me out

The two wires go to the coil. black to (-) red to (+)
take the rotor arm off, put the disc on then put the rotor arm back on.
remove the condensor and black wire will come off with it. the little braidedd wire screws down to the base plate.

ah cool thanks for a speedy reply.

See it is really simple and i am a numpty lol.


cheers

If your car has a ballast resistor you will need to connect the red wire to a 12V ignition switched supply, not the +ve of the coil as this will only be 9V ish.

i fitted mine today along with a lumenition coil and followed the instructions and they told me just to connect it to the positive of the coil, what is the need for it to be connected to a switched supply?

If you continue reading the instructions it goes on to say "If you have a ballast resistor system, you should connect the red wire before the ballast resistor, or to an ignition switchd 12Vsupply"

Or something like that, I haven't got it in front of me now.

It would be very difficult to connect the red wire befor the ballast resistor on a mini, so I would suggest just connect it to a 12V supply. But it has to be ignition switched otherwise it'll be draining the battery all the time.

If you connect straight to the coil you will be supplying the magnetronic with 9V rather than 12V, it might just about work but it will work better with 12V.

THIS ONLY APPLIES IF YOU HAVE A BALLAST RESISTOR (but if you have a racing green then you have a ballast resistor).

thanks will, il have 2 change that on my car then.
