Tice Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 I think he said he got it to crank... Sweet! Musta missed that one. Good lookin out, Laecaon Link to comment
jalen Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Car cranks no spark Tomorrow ill ground the negative coil wore and hopefully spark! And then I can drive the car and fix the wiring mess Link to comment
Tristin Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Why don't you just walk outside for 2sec. and hook up the coil to the dizzy? Or do you not want to take off your snuggy to get some work done. It shouldn't take you more than 5min. to check if that's the problem. Link to comment
Laecaon Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Car cranks no spark Tomorrow ill ground the negative coil wore and hopefully spark! And then I can drive the car and fix the wiring mess Wow, read more. DONT JUST GROUND THE WIRE. Link to comment
jalen Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Maybe the lack of sleep is messing with me. When I say ground the wire I mean ground the wore to the dizzy. Which is what I should do? Correct Link to comment
Tristin Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Yes. Find the tab and slide the connector onto it. Make sure that if the dizzy is single point and there's two tabs, that you open up the dizzy and see which tab has the points attached to it. That's the one you want to connect it to. Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Do not ground that wire to anything...It is the trigger wire for the coil from the points. It is a simple circuit with the points being the on-off switch. Bananahammock posted this pic in this thread which shows the - side of the coil circuit in the dizzy. Please buy a manual and read it through before doing anymore 'troubleshooting" Trying hard to give you the benefit of the doubt here.....but your troll is showing. :yawn: Link to comment
jalen Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 this is what mine looks like. and the blaack wire is the wire im tlking about. based on what tristin said this is what i got. the black wire goes on the tab that conects the condenser to the points. im going to go test it but if you guys thik this is right or wro let me know.

DatWifey Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Maybe what they're trying to tell you is that you should wait until you get your manual on Monday, give it a read through, and then continue on. Trying to rush this to get it to the meet on Saturday is probably not the wisest move if you aren't sure of what you're doing. I'm sure that we can all understand your desire to get it on the road and to the meet to show it off, as many of us have been there, but it really isn't worth fucking it up more than it already is by doing it hastily without the proper knowledge. Patience young grasshopper. 1 Link to comment

I'm BLUE Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 You guys keep spoon feeding the troll I'm bowing out and unsubscribing lol. DTP was nice enough to link to a pdf wiring diagram pages ago btw, try reading maybe. I like this :lol: Jalen !!!! Wiring diagram that works/readable/and exploded ! I clicked on it and read it in Adobe. (be warned ,,, occasional virus pops up ) ---> http://www.mediafire...ctbc1ratdd9mjba <--- ^^^^^^^^^^^^ clicky !! Link to comment
jalen Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 I got the wiring diagram its not quite the clearest.car should be running by tomorrow Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 just in time for the mars lunar landing return.... i just thought if we were making up wild shit likethe cars gonna run tomorrow... Link to comment
jalen Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 yeah that was made up. were gettig spark, fuel, and air. Spark isnt as powerfull as me and spudily think it should be. Link to comment
Laecaon Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Erm you have a pic of the wires attached to your coil, it is showing black/yellow attached to the negative... the wiring diagram says black/yellow is ignition power... maybe diagram is wrong, but doesnt hurt to check to see if black/yellow is indeed +12 with key on... And having 50 red wires in the bay is helping nobody... Link to comment
jalen Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 you were ight the blackand yellow is ignition(noticed that earlier) and red is the battery. (goes from battery to kill switch back to the coil.) so its a pretty sketchy kill switch. but like i said so far i have replaced the points,cap rotor, codenser, coil, battery, spark plugs, plug wires, fuel filter. the car is getting spark (but it seems like it should have more) and its getting gas to the carb. so in theory if im getting spark, gas, and air (of course) that the car should run, right? it turns over ad kinda coughs (not quite a back fire, but it almsot seems like its goig to sttaart but dies) Link to comment

I can see one of your problems. :D Take a look at your contact set. Now look at the distributor cam. Then look at the little felt pointy thing that is NOT engaged on the distributor cam!

Laecaon Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Plug wires could be in the wrong spots. Timing looks to be "1-2-4-3." timing could be off too, happens with new points. Gapped the plugs and points? Link to comment

jalen Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 What? do you mean the felt peice of the point beig connected to the post? because im pretty sure its correct. Link to comment
darrel Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 not connected, engaged. Meaning the high point of the cam lobe should be in contact with the wiper, that is how the points are adjusted. It also looks like the black wire is rubbing on the lobe, it should not be that close. Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 What they are saying is that your points are waaaayyyyy out of adjustment. Again, I recommend getting the manual and reading through it. I would also suggest paying close attention to the chapter on your ignition system. I understand you are young, but this is basic stuff and it is in the book...I don't have the book for your car so it's hard for me to tell you any specific details about the adjustment. Basically, your point lobe (the felt bit) should be adjusted when it is touching the distributor cam lobe, this is your point gap. When the point lobe is on the flat area of the dizzy the points should be closed. When the points open as the dizzy spins there is a spark, this spark goes through the wire to the coil and tells the coil to fire. The coil spark the travels throught the coil wire, through the cap, down to the rotor and out to the spark plug wire. I painted on your pic but I can't get it to upload at the moment, stupid internet.... ....and re route that black wire like darrel mentioned. Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 fuck it, crank fire ignition.....fer the record i hate points.....jalen you getting solid advice dont waste it... Link to comment
