migz808 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 I did a search, but my electrical dizzy swap comes from a Starlet(kp61). I am doing an electric ignition swap on my KE20 and just need some things cleared out before I go on with the swap. Below are some pictures to make it easier to describe. A. I know this connects to the distributor B. Positive? C. Ground? D. This is my original distributor on my KE20, not really sure where this would connect to on my electrical ignition setup. Does it connect to wire A or B maybe?? E. Not really sure if this ignition coil will work with my Starlet distributor. This is from another model. Quote
Medicine_Man Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 Can get a picture of mine if you want, The coil does not "ground" as such, when it breaks from ground is when you get the field collapse in the primary inducing a high voltage in the secondary coil windings. Should have ignition switched 12v going to the positive side of the coil, the 2 leads from the dizzy going to either side of the coil and the black lead to coming off the negative side is usually a tacho signal wire.. and yes, that coil looks similar to mine so i think it may be right..

Medicine_Man Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 yes, it goes to the negative side of the coil on a standard points dizzy setup, not required for electronic.. Quote

So wire A and B just leave unconnected? Medicine Man can I please see a picture of your setup? Thanks! Quote
