Hainz are you saying that the red/white wire should have a fusible link that goes to the fuse box, instead of having it connected to the positive terminal battery? Pictures are very helpful to me it makes more since then wording lol. My battery was fully charged i checked it with a multimeter was showing 13.something volts its a nice Panasonic one I got brand new battery cables, and have tried several different grounds, when i check to make sure its a good ground it shows the same amount as the battery is, means there is good ground there.

I got the starter on my datsun 510 to crank before, but now it wont crank. It just makes a click sound. I am thinking i have a bad ground somewhere. I am going to post some pics and please tell me if my wires are connected correctly. It would also help to see were other users have connected there ground wires, I was reading a couple forums on here, some people were saying that you need to have a fusible link between the postive cable, which i dont have could that be a problem? Also before when the starter would crank, i remember the ignition coil resistor got really hot, could it possibly be fried? http://imgur.com/a/wNv3F First picture i have a ground wire connected to the voltage regulator Second picture i have the black/yellow wire connecting to the starter and also have the postive cable connected to the starter Third picture i found two more black wires, that i connected to the negative terminal of the battery Forth picture shows the white/red wire connecting to the positive side of the battery terminal Am i missing a black wire that needs to be connected somewere to get the starter to crank?

Haha sorry no that was my question. I just forgot to put a question mark at the end of first post. I will find out in couple days i just ordered one from Napa

??

The one at the Napa store will plug straight into the 4 plug wiring I have now

I have a '69 datsun 510 and i recently bought a new datsun 510 alternator, but it was from a '72 since they store dont sell one for a '69 and the connection thats on the car's wiring is different then the one thats supposed to go to on the alternator. So i wanted some help to see which wire colors go to where on the new alternator thanks. Picture attached on imgur http://imgur.com/QPcXGdL

Thanks guys i got a spark, now just need to work on rebuiling the carb because the gaskets seem to leak gas out of them.

I have uploaded some pics. I connected a wire from the dizzy to the ignition coil and when i crank it it doesnt seem to create a spark, either i have the wiring incorrect or my ignition coil is bad. It does give a voltage out of the ballast when i tested it with a voltage tester. http://imgur.com/a/X2X6X The first picture shows how i have it connected currently without the dizzy wiring. The green/black wire goes to one side of the ignition coil, and the blue wire is connected to the other side of the ignition coil, then i ran a wire from the side with the blue connecter to the dizzy, is that the correct way of doing it? I have a extra long black wire and a short black wire were do they go? Second picture just shows how i have a single connecter on my dizzy. Third picture is the long black wire i am talking about, it comes out with the yellow wire, which Datsun mike said it goes to the water temp sender. Four picture i know were most of those wires go, but not to sure were the red/blue wire goes? This is located near the horn driver side Five picture is a close up of the way i have the current wires set up from the igntion coil is this correct? Last picture is of the dizzy itself inside, i was trying to figure out how to gap it to 0.021" or close . Do i cap it when the points open up the farthest out?

Yes i have power to the connecter when the key is in the on position. What color wire is supposed to go from the distrubator to the negative side of coil? If i dont have power still could it be the ignition coil?

Yes the points in the distributor are opening and closing when i crank the engine but i dont see a spark in them. Is there supposed to be one? I only have one connection outside of the distribuator that i am guessing connects to somewere on the ignition coil, but where? According to the pdf file i got it shows i am supposed to have some kind of relay that goes from there to the ignition coil, i dont see that relay anywere, i have seen people say its supposed to mount near the radiator, is it possible i had that relay missing or just my car didnt come with one, because on the pdf file it also shows in () usa model. Do you know if the wiring i have is set up right? by the picture two wires go to the ignition ballast and the blue one connects to one side of the ignition coil and black/green connects to the other. Were does the other black one go to ? I will take some better pics and upload them to imgur again. The yellow, and red/blue wires were by the front end drivers side close to were the radiator supposed to be, i thought that the yellow wire goes to the water temp but then were does the blue/red one go?

I have a '69 Datsun 510 i cant seem to get a spark from the ignition coil i have read some forums on here to check to see if voltage goes into the ignition coil, but when i check with the test light it lights up on both sides. Is that possible? Also i have some wires that i dont know were they go, maybe someone can help me out thanks. Posted some pictures on imgur, link below. Which wire connectes to the dizzy? http://imgur.com/a/TNC8K
