Electronic Ignition... DONE!

Featured Replies

We put on the early electron ignition system. We got it all wired and tried to start it and get it timed. It would barely run. I changed the dist drive (adv & ret) and nothing would make it run. We decided the ECU was bad so we borrowed one from Datsun guy. It still had the wiring harness on it. BINGO! I had the red and the green wires mixed up. I used a drawing for the set-up that had a ECU with a plug-in. The red wire was 'stacked' above the green wire. I assumed the red wire was last. My ECU had the screw-in connectors. Once I changed the wires around the old Z fired right up. I am very close to declaring the restoration complete. I need to install the blue rivots that I lost during the radio wiring screw-up. (Where do those little round plugs go?) I will install the under the engine belly pan, too, and the car is ready! Whooha!

Loren, are you going to bring it down to Eugene so I can see it? Or are you going to be at Canby next month?
