The black wire goes to the oil pressure switch

Well it shouldn't

Blue/black goes to the oil pressure switch

[paulandchez]

must have swapped the oil pressure and amp leads over when I fitted new coil......sorry.

Readings now are 12v on 1 and 4
2ohms on 2 and rest still open circuit......but I've got my oil light back on dash!

So....does that make more sense?

[bigherb]

If you have got open circuit between the amplifier plug and distributor plug there is something wrong with the stabiliser plug unlikely to be all three wires broken is the plug connected properly?

[paulandchez]

Just tried again with plugs together and repeated with them plugged into the stabiliser unit and results don't change. I get about 3 ohms on number 2 if plugged into unit and about 1 if leads are plugged together but all rest stay open circuit

[bigherb]

Have you tried to start it yet with all the plugs fitted?

[paulandchez]

Just managed to get it fired up but running rough as and won't idle. Keeps coughing and backfiring.

[paulandchez]

Scratch that....3 and 4 leads wrong way round. Running ok now.....but not sure what I fixed after all that!

Thanks for all your help today Bigherb. I now know a lot more about the ignition system than I ever did!
