Hi all I have a bit of a prob 1989 air-cooled just on with putting engine in and am a bit stuck on where the wires go on the coil I have 2 spark plug leads wire from distributor (black), wire from wiring loom (green)and a wire from condenser attached to the coil (blue) I think I know where they all go except the 1 from distibutor any help would be grateful or pics
-
Put a couple of pics on facebook of it as won't let me upload them on to here

The wire that comes out of the wiring loom goes to the positive + side of the coil, the wire from the distributor goes to the negative side - it should be marked on top of the coil
-
Cheers for that but unforuantly there is no markings on the coil
-
If you have a waste spark type coil( this has the two HT leads plug into it) the car loom plugs on the right hand side as you look at it, and the wire from the distributor goes on the left hand side. condensor wire connects to the switching side of the coil (that's the points side and you can fit this either end off the wire) ;)

cheers i think i know what u mean have a look at this link shows a pic pf the coil i have

i need to work out how to reduce my pics so i can post them on here as i know u all like pics

test

Looking at your pic it looks like you have the feed wire and the wire out to the distributor both connected to the + terminal. Switch the distributor wire over to the other ( - ) terminal.
-
Hi the wire with the green tape on is from the loom the other wire is from the condenser the wire from distributor isn't on yet still don't know where they go
-
There are only 2 connections on the coil and 2 plug leads, The only exception is if someone has fitted a radio suppressor.
-
Itt looks like it has a Supresser ? Fitted as there is 4 terminals not 2 any ideas ??
-
Throws arms up in the air :lol: forget about any other wires that are connected, wire up as the official diagram :thumbup
-
here is a better pic of set up showin condenser on distributor and also a condenser on the coil
-
Forget about the suppressor. Wire the coil as the diagram above, if you are using standard HT suppressor leads and not copper HT leads, With a modern car radio and aerial you shouldn't have problems with radio interference, which is all the suppressor is used for. Remember start with the basics, any other problems can be sorted out later.
-
I don't know which part is a suppresser or what 1 is so I don't know how to wire it leaving it out cos I don't know what to leave out this is all new to me and I don't understand it could someone explain in stupid terms so get it right lol
Cheers ps sorry to be a pain

The light blue dot is the suppressor
The dark blue dot on the wire (distributor) goes to the blue dot on the coil
Is the wire with the pink dots on the same wire as its going to earth (negative)
Or is there 12volts at the terminal?
-
The wire with the dark blue dot does it go to either 1of them 2 prongs marked with a dark blue dot
The only 12v power is from the wiring loom I think
Cheers

You can use either of the 2 terminals they are the same.
Does the wire marked with the pink dots go to the nut holding the coil? If it does that is not the 12volt supply to the red dot on the coil.
-
No the wire with red dot goes into wiring loom the wire x2 holding coil on goes Into wiring loom aswell
So the supressor is what I thought was a condenser fastened to the coil?0
-
Yes the suppressor is the one that is fitted to the bottom of your coil.
Connect the wire with the red dot to the red dot on the coil and that should be it, It maybe worth checking that there is 12volts on that wire when the ignition is turned on :thumbup
