electronic ignition

Good luck to you! I've tried to give you best advice, as have several others - you seem to 'know better', while at the same time refusing to acknowledge the mistakes you are making. Hope it goes well for you.
By the way - I never let all this become 'personal' - a great pity you can't see it that way.
Best regards

realised my stupidity this morning when i cut off the outer wiring harness and saw that the white/black wire was infact, the same wire.

i would like to apologise to those that i got the rage with. (especially BMC). i'm new to all this classic car world and am trying to learn as i go along. maybe if i had investigated before i started screaming, i'd not of made myself look like a tulip. i'll take it on the chin and learn from it. no hard feelings??



now i am unsure where the thin brown/yellow wire goes. the thick one goes to the battery, i know that much. anyone give me a simple answer please, as i'm getting slightly stressed with this all. i don't know what to do with the 2 yellow wires???

Hello Ampwhu,

on a dynamo car a brown\yellow wire starts at the ignition warning light and goes to the 'D' terminal on the regulator box. On an alternator it goes directly to the alternator.

Do you not have a workshop manual, the wiring is laid out there with the colours of the cables?

I would also re terminate those wires, the crimps should be double crimped, the inner part of the sleeve onto the conductor and the outer part onto the cable sheath to provide mechanical strength, you should not be able to see the conductor at all.
