Ducer Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) Well, my 1974 260z started and ran a few times since I got it It ran this week actually. I recently pulled the engine out and painted it, and did a some what restoration on the engine bay. So recently: 1. New NGK plugs 2. New Duralast Wires 3. Coil is Old looking and it has signs of being 5-10 years old. (Have a newer coil will change soon) 4. Cap and Rotor seems okay, but probably old (Will change soon) Issue: 1. Didn't want to start. It tries and I can hear it fire on a cylinder or two 2. I had spark jumping through the wire and randomness. (I believe it was running 12v through the coil thus the Jumps) 3. NOW I have the wiring set as pictured below, and the "extra Black/White wire is not in use) Some sparks at the spark plugs seem "Stronger" some are Faint and weak. Orange / Weak spark Overall. Some stronger, some very weak. Please see the picture below and let me know "WHERE Does the extra "BLACK/ WIRE GO TO?" (i assume to the Positive of the coil? AND if my wiring looks correct. The previous owner did a lot of "mikey mouse" wiring, and I've had to clean it up as much as I can, and FSM and Haynes etc, don't seem to have "condenser" and other things. Correct? Wrong? Please Let me know. THANKS! Edited July 13, 2011 by Ducer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
