i'm fitting the mk2 astra 8 valve 1.8 into my nova, and have a problem getting spark to the plugs. Has anyone done the wireing for this conversion. I'm currently using the coil from the 1.2 nova and the distributor from the astra. The nova has a +ve and -ve wire to the dissy, while the astra has a +ve, -ve and neutral wire. can anyone help with what I should do?
