well my friend bought an 88' second gen , ......BUT it was converted over to a holley and a distributor , it didnt run , it cranked over but nothing , i went about checking everything and came down to NO spark or Fuel , it alllll came down to the hack job wiring , i was able to wire up the fuel pump correctly BUT still no spark , the distributor doesnt have points , which was the first thing i went about checking , i tested out pretty much everything accordingly to mazda and Alldata manuals , everything seemed to be fine , BUT its the wiring im not sure of , SOOOO i drew out the situation of HOW its wired up , You tell me .........also it has 2 msd blaster coils ......... thanks guys

 

Wrong forum, dude. This is first gen section.

 

The "L" and "T" coils should go straight to the "L" and "T" on the distributor cap. L1 is left side bottom plug. T1 is left side top plug. T2 is right side top plug. L2 is right side bottom plug.

I hope this helps, I'm 95% sure on this.

 

nah i know its a 1st gen forum , but if i post in the second gen section theyll say TO post it here because it is Carbureted and has a distributor....................

 

thats pretty much how it is , from the L coil it runs to top of the distributor were its marked L1 then coil T runs to the top of the cap were its marked T1 , then the spark plug wires are ran to there designated locations .......could bad ignitors be the prob?.......thanks guys

 

Leading coil to distributor "L"
Trailing coil to distributor "T"

The T1 - L1 and T2 - L2 refers to the "cylinder" numbers
1 being the front and 2 being the rear.

 

When I bought my moms vert it had similar issues though it would start. try changes the wires. that was the issue w/ m moms.one of the wires were bad. also check the modules on the distributer. how do the plugs look? i bought a T2 that had old plugs and got a deal b/c of some fouled plugs. If you want I got extra plugs and some old but good wires at the house call me if you want to try em out.
