Kasimir Wulf Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Doing a MS3X install with a friend, but he doesn't have much of the wiring left over in the engine bay. I'm trying to figure out the output for the distributor are. I put together a drawing of the bottom side of the distributor, so I need answers for A B C and D. Thank you for your time, -Kasimir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Is that view of the bottom from the top or the bottom? If it's a CAS you're working with, cgsheen has posted by wire color several times. Beside the output there's also an input. Here's a bunch - https://www.google.com/webhp?tab=ww&ei=dq5PVNe5B8j8igLU9ICABg&ved=0CAMQ1S4#q=site:hybridz.org+cgsheen+cas+wiring&* And here's one - http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/123254-cas-question-5v-in-harness/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenman Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) This is is the terminal orientation from Nissan. Used with Nissan 280ZXT trigger wheel or Z31 Trigger ( Crank Signal ) = Green Home ( Cam Signal ) = White +12volt = Red Sensor grounds ( 2 ) = Black Edit: Note: If you use the DIY wheel, the MegaSquirt software switches the wiring around for the Crank and Cam signal. Only the MS 3 with the latest firmware can use the Nissan Z31 trigger wheel. Check the MS forums on that. Hope this helps.

Chickenman Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) Just checked the DIY site and they've update the Technical page regarding there DIY trigger wheel. They've now added the color coding to hook up from Dizzy to MS in the various versions. Here's the link to the updated wiring chart and Trigger setup page: https://www.diyautotune.com/support/tech/hardware/nissan-trigger-disc/ Edited March 24, 2017 by Chickenman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasimir Wulf Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 Basically we've got a 78 280Z with a modified 82-83 Turbo engine. I just needed to know which metal tabs, that the connector mates with, did what. Being that I didn't have a harness to look at, none of the guides were very helpful.

NewZed Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 You can't see the green, red, black, and white in Chickenman's picture, and where they go in to the distributor plug? I could spell it out in ABCD easily. He said what did what, as did cgsheen. It's all laid out in color, on a platter, with silver and a napkin. You need to be able to work from what's here in this post, at the least, if you want to do Megasquirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasimir Wulf Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 Sorry I was explaining why I asked that's all. I'm not intending to be a smart ass. The picture is dead on what I needed, Thank you! -Kasimir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Sorry for the bluntness. Then internet is a poor communication medium. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
