I've got an '80 SCCA ITA car, and I need to figure out some wiring for the distributor. I'm missing one wire on the chassis side of the connection. It's probably the top-left connection if you're looking at it while standing in front of the car.

There is a 6-wire connector going from the distributor to this 6-wire connector on the chassis. Again, on the chassis side is where the wire is missing. I need to know WHERE this wire is, because I sure don't see it anywhere hidden in my harness or anything. Do all six wires come right out of your harness and go to this connector? Or does one of these wires (what color?) come from somewhere else, and the other 5 come from the harness? Please step outside and take a look at this for me, I want to get this sucker to spark by this weekend.

 

Ya had be confused for a second, I was thinkin' "What, all FBs had two separate 2-prong plugs at the dizzy, what's he talking about?"

Then I see you've got an '80. (That's an SA not an FB) Okay, going back from memory, the dizzy plugs in with that connector with the looong wire that they route under the A/C compressor bracket so you have to remove the compressor bracket to remove the dizzy. (yum) As I recall, there were no stray wires at either end of the connection.

 

okay, thanks. so you think (from memory) that ALL the wires came from the harness, and not like 5 from the harness and one from some random place?

If anyone has one of these, PLEASE help me out with this right quick. I have one but it's an hour drive away.
