Yeah there is 12 Volts on the + terminal of the ign coil. I'll try to post pictures tomorrow when I do the soldering joint. I forgot to mention that I did check the + terminal of the ign coil, it does read 12 V. The - terminal of the coil does not show 12 V (battery + to coil -). That's why I think it's the ground connection. The starter does work, motor turns over. I should carry spare jumper wires for that temporary solution for emergencies :thumbup: I'll post pictures tomorrow. Any one ever open up a matchbox? The reason being is I would like to replace the whole wire(s) instead of splicing. I really don't like splices.. Thanks again guys!.

1972 Datsun 510 wagon L18 Weber downdraft Electronic ignition (Dizzy unknown donor) 620 Ignition coil (New from autozone ~ 3 months ago) I was on my way to work last week in the wagon and all of a sudden the car stopped. Luckily I was at the top of a hill so it was all downhill until I could find a spot to park B) . Upon inspection I found no spark from the ignition (ign) coil. I checked the voltage across the ign coil which is 0 Volts. I suspect the common ground wire connected to the dizzy (through the matchbox) is what is at fault, it has a bad splice. I plan on properly soldering it this weekend to rule out an open connection. Is it possible the matchbox can go bad? If what kind of test can I do? Thanks guys!

Hi all, I'm looking for an L18 alternator mount that bolts to the engine block. I would also like the two bolts. I have several L16s with the mounts but they are different size bolts and the mount has smaller holes too. I'm also looking for a clean radiator fan. No broken fins please. I have lots of datsun 510 parts to trade for let me know what you want to trade...or just give me a price for the parts that I need. Thanks.
