1 litre coil pack? you sure?
any way dash insert/clock side of the wiring on the plug look for a green wire, should be terminal number 7, which you will find on the plug/connector itself. root this wire to you coil- should be a brown or green wire on the coil iirc

you do know that the oil pressure gauge won't work? you need the oil pressure sender for that to work

[John]

There's a spare treminal on the coil in the 1.0 iirc, connect this to the female spade poking out of the back of the clocks by the rev counter.
edit, you'll need the correct sender to make the oil pressure gaude to work too.

yep one from a gsi iirc

[gazsnova]

those the clocks your using in the pic?
looks like youve got either a rev counter from a gte clocks set
or a speedo from a gsi clockset.

1.0 coil pack nova? seriously? never knew any nova was made with coilpack setup, was sure they were all distributor

from the pics he has provided, looks like he has the gsi clockset/ with a gte rev gauge

therefore i dont think there will be a spade terminal poking out behind the rev gauge- terminal 7 on the multiplug me thinks

[NovaBoi92]

they were lol i think he just mean coil

[gazsnova]

1.0 coil pack nova? seriously? never knew any nova was made with coilpack setup, was sure they were all distributor

same as what i thought
unless hes refering to the difference between cb points and the electronic hall effect distributor

Yes you are correct, sorry my bad!

[gazsnova]

i only just noticed myself, never mind he now has more than enough information to wire it up, without us going and doing the job ourselves :thumb: good work matey

[Sloth]

just for info, the late 1993 model year c14se and c16se engines were on coil pack.

[gazsnova]

hence the "c" prefix on the engine code iirc

and no i dont mean it stands for coil pack lol

[mowgli]

the pic seems to show a mk1 dash set. but the avatar shows a mk2......

the clockset is a mk2 at the top there is the mounting hole unlike the mk1

its a rev counter from mk1 gte clockset fitted into mk2 gsi clockset
and to confirm its a mk2 in the avantar
