the guy I got the motor from told me IT came from a 79 rx7 but it has no points but electronic ignition my question is what from the donor wiring harness if any do I need or can someone tell me how to hook this style dist. to my suzuki wiring? or is it eazier to get a 79 dist. and put that in

Ok easier ? what do I need to hook up to get my motor to run out of the car like on a stand

Well maybe you have a later dizzy on it? Pretty common swap for the points style as they arent as good. Does your dizzy have igniters mounted on it? 80 dizzys had the module mounted on the fender.

Rutnick

does your car have a 130mph speedo or 85 mph speedo? If it is 130, it is a 1979.

dont have speedo just motor and trans

If the ignitors are mounted on the outside of the distributor, it is an '81 or newer. The '80 distributors had the ignitors mounted on the fenderwell in a box. Cross-triggering and spurious pulses have been noted with this setup, because of the long wire run from the distributor to the remote mounted box.

My '80 has a 130 mph speedo (from a '79 LE, that is.)

Rutnick

well, my 1980 has a 130 too

so what do I need off the wiring harness ?is there a computer?

Wankelguy

Nope, no computer. Thank God...
All you need is for the coils and ignitors to get 12V when the key switch is in the "ON" position, then connect the coil triggering leads from the ignitors to their respective coils. That's about it.
