1.0 to 1.4 Conversion: Ignition problems PLEASE HELP!

[Dunova94]

Hi guys,
at the weekend I dropped a 1.4 carb (14NV) into my 1.0 nova.. It's turning over fine but I can't get a spark from the coil.. I've been trying to figure out the wiring for it but can't get it working!

There's one green and one black wire coming from the loom, and there's a 2 pin connector at the dizzy. Does anyone know the problem or how to get it going? I've checked the fuses and they're all fine.

Thanks in advance
Joe

replace the black wire with one direct from the ign switch. the 1.0 one has a built in resistor.

That's great, thanks guys! Hopefully I won't be begging for any more help!

Spoke too soon! I'm being told I need a 7-pin ignition module for it to work. Is that true?

It sits under the coil there should be a plug there for it

[Dunova94]

Millworm thanks, I may have the wrong coil then, what shape is the coil? And how many pins/what fitting is this plug? Cheers

like i said at the time i first posted this up..... i wanted it to be a sticky in electrical, and not a how to article....

thankyou for posting it up again though southie (it won't let me give you any more rep)

[Stuart]

Its now also a sticky in electrical

[Dunova94]

Thanks Stuart! I've now sourced a module but still having issues, we can create a spark from the coil if using a permanent earth (as a test) but no spark when everythings plugged in. Does this indicate a faulty pulse earth in the dizzy? All I can think of is trying a new dizzy now...

Cheers mowgli, I did find it of use but am now having more problems...
