Top Coil mount

#1 Post by dave55 » Wed Sep 09, 2015 4:17 am

Hi all

after trolling the forum finally found where the top coil mount bracket should slot in, senile moment after taking it apart.
looks a bugger to get back in after i had already threaded the loom in etc.

Whats stumping me is i cannot seem to find the 2 spade connections for the top coil from the loom.
Correct me , but are they straight from the loom or on a sub harness off a connector block else where ?. (if so i have misplaced it)

Also has anybody put new HT leads on the coils or just changed the caps. Any thoughts on 30 year old leads ?

Just drips and drabs now on the rolling chassis the engine under the cover on the bench is looming ever closer !!!!

I don't remember any extra loom connector there, pretty sure its on the main loom. Maybe they broke off?
The HT leads are easy to change. Little plastic clips hold them in. If you break the clips, just put the new wires in with black RTV around the outside to hold them.

Cheers Colin

will have a crack at the leads and have a dig about around the headstock loom for connectors,

Probably put them on the Horn :grin:
