I had posted long ago about a problem with my tach. It has power (lights), but doesn't budge when the motor runs. I finally had time today to address the issue. I busted out the ol' FSM today and went back to BE-33 to see what color wire to look for. According to this page, I should have a blue wire attached to the neg on the coil. What I found is a black w/white wire attached and the blue one was taped up (not connected) with a couple of other wires that come out of the connector just ahead of the coil. I've looked through the book, but my untrained eyes can't find that connector again. What do those wires go to? What do I have connected to my coil? Shouldn't I pull that wire off and connect the blue? BTW, one of the red wires you see goes to the dizzy and the other goes to the alternator, I think... Update: I pulled the black/white wire off and put the blue wire on. Got no spark after that. Hooked up both the wires, car fired right up, but still no tach. See the pic below for details... http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/8/web/488000-488999/488766_32_full.jpg

Hey, does anyone know the difference between the Solex 40 PHH and 40 ADDHE? The Italian guy on ebay has a triple set of ADDHE for tiny $$. I haven't been able to find any info on the ADDHE on an english-language site to see if they'll work Ok for my 260, or if I just need to suck up and drop the large $$ for the Mikunis. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

I have a 260 with a single DGEV (runs like crap, just like you'd think) that I'm about to convert to triple 40DCOE's, which I got used. Is there any particular reference you used to do the swap? Any good website or doc somewhere that says what you can take out and what you need to keep? Anyone have a step-by-step posted? Any help would be greatly appreciated. _________________ Thanks, Cooper '74.5 260Z (12/74 mfg.)
