TENDRIL Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Roof does not change, just the B pillar location and door length 1 Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Key turned to the on position should have 12v to + on coil, as motor turns and dizzy rotates it hits the ground signal to ignite coil and send back to dizzy cap Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Roof does not change, just the B pillar location and door length yeah i just wanna make sure theres enough material in the pillar area to compensate.......and thats the c pillar ...mr know it all ... lol but yes that was my concerned area......i got these cool oem plastic caps that go beneath the pillar vent to camp the roof back there .. ones perfect the other one is missing a corner.....was gonna see if it came with that too but highly doubt it ... wish i took a pic of them too ... yeah we wired the match box from memory but we used to smoke weed back then, so maybe i forgot to re learn the unlearned portion of what i learned...

INDY510 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 How is your coil grounded??? ... the ONLY wire going to the coil ground should be from the dizzy: from this thread: http://community.ratsun.net/topic/19878-no-spark-makes-ka-kait-sad/ Quote Link to comment

skyblue Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 no intermittent .. just none... Yes I understand, but maybe the module is dead. They're cheap enough that you could get a new one and try that. 1 Quote Link to comment
