and its black wire to - on the coil and no other wires connected to coil and red wire to ignition switch yes?

[Shifty]

Depends on the car, if you've got ballasted ignition then you need a new feed to the coil.

I've got both aldon and accuspark and don't see a difference.

[leroy26]

yeah its ballested, so find a spare connection on the ignition?

[Jordie]

For ballest ignition setup.

The elec ignition module requires 12v source. Dont touch the coil wiring!

If you have ballast setup (can be found out by looking at coil, you will have a white/pink and white/yellow) then you need to take a 12v source to power the module. This can be done by taking a feed from the top (4 fusebox, std lucas type) fuse, on the left hand side as you look at it.

Connect the black wire from the module to the old points wire or direct to coil negative.

[leroy26]

leaving the pink/white wire on the coil + aswell?

[Jordie]

dont touch the coil wiring (other than adding the black wire from elec ign to coil negative if required)

just connect the red (positive) wire on the electronic ignition module direct to the fusebox for a 12v (switched live, aka on with ignition key which is fuse 1)

[Shifty]

Yeah, jordies right, I've been to the pub this afternoon!!

Just wire the + wire(red) to a switched live.

[leroy26]

sweet! thanks
it may be some help to someone else too

Cheapest source I can personally find for the britpart kit is

http://www.paddocksp...tronic-kit.html

Now its a land rover site, those of you who "know" these kits fit both mini and land rover. They come with basic instructions which dont relate to any vehicle in particular. Its basically remove points and condensor, fit electronic module in place, magnetic pickup/rotor arm and wire up.

worked out at £16.63 for me eariler this week.

[waddle]

was the one from paddocks ok then, or did it need any changed

[Jordie]

it was fine. i had to remove a pin from my dizzy plate because it was an older pre a+ dizzy.

[waddle]

ah gdgd i have one on the way, just wondering how i can tell if my coil is balisted or not? i have a 12 volts on the wire that goes into the +ve side if that helps?
