labrat Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 well, as everyone knows (and I know way too well), the injected 280ZX has way different wiring than the 240's the JTR manual talks about. My question is this, which wire should i take the ignition 12v to the HEI dizzy bat+ terminal? The wire I have it on now is dropping voltage when the motor cranks, and won't make fire. After all the bugs i have worked out so far, this one has me stumped... Thanks fellas! Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greimann Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 You should be using the BW (black - white) wire that originally ran the coil. The Haynes manual has a wiring diagram that is a great reference tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labrat Posted January 22, 2002 Author Share Posted January 22, 2002 Well, i tried that at first, but since i removed the ECU and the wiring harness that went to it, there is no voltage on that wire. I will check my haynes manual though, and see what's going on. Thaknks! Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 labrat: I have a recently converted 83 with an HEI distributor. The two wires I have hooked up are black with a white stripe to the Batt side of the HEI, and blue for the Tach side. Mine works fine.

labrat Posted January 24, 2002 Author Share Posted January 24, 2002 well, i jumpstarted it off of my girlie's mazda, and it fired fine. I guess the battery was dropping the voltage. Thanks for all the help, guys! Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
