Ignition:Trouble on my horizon.
Good morning!
Well, last night i went to do some work on the Rx.
Wanted to swop the polarity of the Pickup`s on my new DLIDFIS ignition.
Turned on the ignition,and only the fuelpump,and warning lights came on.
So i went and checked the fuse box,for a blown fuse,all of them a-ok.
Checked the fuseable links in the enginebay,nope,all of them working just fine.
Checked for voltage at any off the coils,nothing,all of them dead as a doornail!
Checked for power at the ignitors,nothing as well.
So somehow,i managed to screw up my igntion system.
Does anyone have any tips on how i can fix it?Is there a relay that turns on the ignition system?
I`am sitting with a wiring diagram,and i feel like i`am going to se it on fire.
Please help
Thanks for reading!

Nothing serious !
I removed the leading wiring from the pickup to the coil.
i used the stock wires,that switches on the coils,to switch on the leading coils,and added a jumper wire,to the trailing coil.
The tach signal was put on the - of the 2nd rotor leading coil.
Should i draw up a diagram of how i did it?

Ok,thats waht i thought as well!
Opinionid the 3 coils,and aftermarket ignitors drwa to much current from the igntion contact?
Ok,here is my diagram.Please excuse how horrible it looks(3 year old could do better!)

Lapping = Fapping

Your diagram looks correct. Again, I think the feed wire wasn't quite up to the task. Have you tried hotwiring everything to the battery? It would be a good way to see if the ignitors and coils are still good.
You need to use a relay! I'm probably going to pick up a relay for my '76 CD Cosmo today.
