[Distributor wire frayed]

Why not just fix it?  It's a capacitor for reducing electrical noise.  It has a purpose.

 

I didn't know the name of the component, thank you for the info. I'll look into repairing it. 

Would that be the exact name?

You can splice them.  I'd use a butt connector and shrink tubing myself, but many people like soldering.

 

The engine won't start because the blue wire is the signal to the EFI computer.

 

Is the cylinder necessary? Can I bypass that also? 

 

Thank you for replying so quickly

Good morning guys, I was in the process of changing my ignition coil, when I noticed one of the wires leading to the distributor was cut. In addition one of the ring connectors on the resistor ballast in a rubber cover also broke (blue wire).  The car would run before but now it won't start, so I'm blaming these two issues. Would I be able to splice the wires back together or should I be in search for new wires? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you sir! 

 

So L would go to ignition key on and S to 12v source.  Sorry just want to verify before I fry my electrical system.

Good afternoon group! 

 

I recently purchased an alternator to replace the stock one in my 77 280z. Aside from having to rewire for the removal of the external regulator, I'll have to splice the new harness but I'm not 100% sure how to go about it. Any clarification will be helpful.
