rutts Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 You have the 16v coil and amp. You need a standard 1.8 or gte coil and amp. Wiring is as msnta doc says standard black is live Green rev counter Brown on amp is earth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggressor Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 strange as this was the set up the guy sold me with the 45's and he said it worked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rutts Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Maybe a auto electronic expert could tell you or ask guy you got set up off what wire goes where. Astra mk1 dizzy uses same ignition amplifier and coil as manta. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggressor Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) 1 hour ago, mantadoc said: Does not seam strange to me. You have three people here with working cars and probably 40 - 60 years history of this stuff telling you how it works.............. ...............and you have non-working stuff. These Dizzys are used on many cars. For example Ifitted the 1.8 Manta coil and loom / amp to mates VW recently jus because it has the same dizzy connector. Different amps are used on different cars with them. Basically you need to either look up the part no and pin out of your amp and work it through or take our word for it, whether we are right or wrong. Sorry I'm not questioning what you guys are saying if anything you have been nothing but very helpful and I greatly appreciate that. I'm just saying the guy said it should work but I can't get to but that's probably down to my lack of knowledge of it. 2 hours ago, garymanc said: Thanks Gary what is that black cable going into the dizzy and coil. 1 hour ago, mantadoc said: From here Note different manufacturers AMPs for diffrerent applications may have different pin outs. Your responsibility to check you do no harm to your stuff., not ours. Thanks very much mantadoc.

garymanc Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 i don't know anything about electrics myself so i could not tell you the one on the blue connector goes to the connection on the coil nearest the bulkhead the other one is to a connection on the coil with other wires spliced in Rutts kindly wired up my car so it ran maybe as Rutts has said you have the wrong coil as i can't see any wires connecting to the blue plug on the dizzy in your pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
