Can anyone help with the wiring of my ignition amplifier , I am using a 2Lt pinto from an injection model the injection system is to be replaced with twin 40 webbers. The amplifier is a MOTORCRAFT 86FB 12A297-AA 7C248 the wires are as follows
BLUE / YELLOW BLUE / RED together BLACK / RED

The wires to the distributer are

BLACK
LIGHT GREEN

The coil , distributer and amplifier are all off the doner I just need some advice on how to wire it all up , any advise would be great

bonsoir,

J'ai ça récupéré sur le net

Interesting reply that!

I know where that picture came from- me! I drew it, as proof it didn't work!

Anyway, check this post:

If you have the same setup as me then the final picture is the way to wire it up. 2000 miles says so.

HTH,

who drew this oneImage deleted by owner

But I didn't post it as I don't fully know if M HIGGS has the same amp/dizzy as me! Didn't want to give him duff gen!


Cheers,

Désolé James!!!

Mais merci quand même, tu vois c'est utile

Does that translate to

"Perfect James,
many thanks indeed - you are truly a well hung man"??????

I cant help thinking the dizzy with 4 wires is the wrong type. Mine has 3.

Darren.... how did you know???



Bonjour,

Avez-vous pu courir votre moteur avec ce diagramme ?

Et quels amplier et distributeur avez-vous ?

Cheers,
James

Yes darren is right, the dizzy i think is from the efi pinto. also the wire colurs do not match up with any of the bosch electronic dizzy info i have.

Shame as i have just sold the last one i had,they can be easily found on ebay or here though.

thanks for all the replies have printed off some pictures will see if any work

The dizzy you want has 3 wires and a plug on the end. The dizzy with 4 connections and plug built in is hall effect and from later sierra - no good im afraid.

I bought a brand new dizzy for mine. Will be replacing with megajolt at some stage but not quite ready to sell off old ignition set up just yet.

I recently sold a complete used set up from a donor for £45 which was cheap. You may find another if you keep eyes open on ebay.

You may be lucky and get one from a scrappy. Get the dizzy, coil and amp from the one vehicle if poss. I did try and use an aftermarket amp (intermotor) but it failed after a short time, i swapped it for a used motorcraft and that one has been reliable.
