lowlancer Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Show us how you have ballast resistor and coil hooked up. Check relay are clicking over by earthing it and connecting the 12V in on it to ya battery + Replace coil, dizzy cap, leads, points, etc etc All worth it long term, and not that expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
low_mk2_escort Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 it has a new cap and leads and ive changed the coil but still none ive got the resistor wire connected to the pos of the coil and its got power going threw it and ive got the wire from the dizzy condensor going to the neg on the coil and thats all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
