Howdy all,
I'm trying to start a 1983 998cc Mini which has stood for years. I have a new coil, electronic dizzy and new HT leads. I'll check fuel of course but for now I'm just trying to get a spark and need to correctly wire in the coil.
The issue is I'm not sure what wire goes where. This is what I'm assuming so please correct me if I'm wrong:
Red wire from new electronic dizzy to +ve on coil.
Black wire from new electronic dizzy to -ve on coil.
A 12v live wire from the loom to the +ve on the coil.
I think there should be another wire to the -ve on the coil. There are a couple of wires, which do not seem to have a 12v supply, coming from the loom that are of the right length but don't know how to check what they're for. There's also a small black plastic box (about an inch square) which was attached to the coil bracket above the coil and has a wire which I guess also went to the -ve on the coil? What is that for? I can take a pic if it helps.
Thanks
