For spark...

Remove the ballast resisters on the driver side shock tower and bypass them by joining the ballast + and - wires together for each. Then you just have the two 12v + wires under each coil, a - wire (for tach signal) and then you just create new wires going from the - and + on each ignitor to their respective coil. Dont forget to disable the part time trailing by finding the relay behind the battery and unplugging it.

Search for the mazspeed.com site for a tutorial on emissions removal and coil wiring.

 

Make sure the engine fuse isnt blown.

 

Due to the age, i highly recommend running an independent 12v to coils. Wired from alternator to a 30-amp relay, controlled by factory ignition wire.

 

Well tell me what ive done wrong? And i cut yellow/green wires, theres 2 ? Well do the go tegether and to the trailing - ?







My phone wont let me go to the mazspeed site. So pls be more specefic detail of how it needs to be wired

 

Make sure you are getting 12v to the wire you connect to the +. On the resisters I dont remember if there is - and + or just + The yellow green actually connects to the rear coil - on SA. Or at least on my 79 and 80 it does.

 

Mazspeed is down apparently. Try again later. Its been about 7 years since I did my last points to electronic conversion so sorry I cant remember what wires and all go where.

 

Get it running using the technique i mentioned above. a running car will give you a motivation to pursue other things

 

Idk what u mean by purse other things but when i first wired the coils to the ignitors i was going off the mazspeed site. But i think i messed it up. Somehow. So um i gotta figure this out imma try the negitive off the altinator and see if it works

 

Yeas connect 12v to both coils via relay Then run new wires from coils to igniters

 

There is no negative off the alternator. The fat wire on the 8mm bolt is a + and it grounds itself to the engine.

 

Ok so lets lstart by saying that when i test for voltage. Black on ground(battery) and i touch coil + and - they both are close to 12v then i touch the end plugs to the ignitors and the are close to 12v too but when i touch the ignitors theres nothing. So tell me what u think? I did put the ground on the block of motor for the radiator fan, will that cuase the problem? Ill add the extra wires in a little cus i just think i have a short of something cus i did have car running befor and the engan fuse hasent blown cus i tested the fuse and accedently blowen it cus i put wire in wrong. So ya thats all fixed and so i do have a fuze on and before coils. So i dont need to add the extra wires and fuses but ill try to see it it starts at least.

 

Im drawing a blank for the ground for the radiator fan. There is a 4-6 gauge battery cable grounded to the top driver side teansmission bolt. Thats it. The battery cable going to the starter is a +. The condensors are grounded to the engine (there's one on the alternator,distributor, and emissions rack I believe, but they are technically a + wire.

you should only have 5 wires going to your distributor. + and - for each ignitor and one for the condensor. The only wires required for the car to run right will be a pair of black and white wires for the choke and check relay,a thick + for the alternator, one wire for the float bowl vent solenoid, and one wire for the coolant sensor for the choke magnet.

 

What does the condensor do? How does it go out? I just dont get it i have power but no spark on the leading coil

 

Oh how do u check if the coils r still good?

 

Are you doing this with the key on?

 

Yes

 

Could it be a bad distribitor?

 

Youd still get 12v.

 

Well imma do a DLIDFIS in but imma come back and try agian to see if it works. But ya lol

 

Rawr that mazspeed is still down ahhh someone needs to get me help with the wiring

 

So how i have this wired is a new wire from coils to one wire (2-1) to disrtibitor thos spit (1-3) 2 to the ignitors and on condensor i do have power from harnes going to coils. I think something shorted in this wire but i have seperate (-) wire going to each other leadung to leading trailing to trailing.

 

What is the condesor wire? + wire?

 

Condensor links to both coils + terminal and grounds to the dizzy.

 

Ok is it bad to wire all 3 + wires(ignitors(2) and condensor) to on wire then to fuse then to altinator? As its own power to distribitor, then on the harness i will have 2 fuses added right before coils on + side then 2 seperite wires - going right ignitor. So trailing to trailing leading to leading. Once im done ill try to start and ill show pics. Let me know what u think.. i figured out that i had shorted it once on accedent and i blew fuse under dash and i blew the ignitor also so i changed it.

 

I would not do it that way. You need to relay it from the battery or find a switched power source.
