    Default fitting twin 40's need help with ignition

    im fitting a set of twin 40 carbs to a nova gsi engine.

    couple of problems, how do i wire in the coil, ignition module and the 3 pin black plug on the dizzy

    the ignition module has 4 pins,
    the coil has 2 and the coil lead,
    and the plug on the dizzy has 3.

    does anyone know what i need to do to make it all work?

    i have the nova gsi loom, i dont mind chopping the 3 required plugs out of it, and i dont mind making a bit of loom.


    any help appreciated
    also where the std inlet was, there is now a hole "vacumm"? that goes throu to the exhaust port. i guess i block this off, but want'd to make sure before i did

    As far as I remember, thats the Vacume for the Brake servo. I'm sure it has to be hooked up, but not sure how.
    I spent 90% of my money on Drink and Women, the rest I just wasted.

    the hole in the head that goes to the exhaust side is the EGR hole that needs blocking up

    You need a carb dizzy setup. Nova gsi one is of no use.
