hi, im replacing the dizzy mounted ignition amp on the 35dlm8 distributor in my 3.5 rv8, the old amp is a 2 pin unit, whereas the new replacemnt is three pin, sadly the vendor cant tell me where the positve and negative wires from the coil go to on the amp, and i dont fancy frying it finding out, i believe one (possibly the middle one) is redundant in my apllication, i understand the early discos used this set up
 
cheers bob, if all else fails i will purchase a link lead, but the replacemnt amp, comes with the connector and boot, and pins, just no explanation as to where they go, and like i say the vendor who is also strangely at matlock but not paddocks cant help me. i think craddocks do em as well, and they are a bit closer so may try them today, still got nealry a full tin of "start ya ba#@&trd" could allways set fire to the thing....:eek:
 
bob?

glad you figured it out lol I think you must be out somehwere along the lines of tdc-firing stroke and dizzy degrees and lead rotation but I dont have enough experience on the v8's yet to put you right.

Stuart could sort it for you no bother but hes v busy atm. PM me if you want his details.
 
googled it and came up with a fella on piston heads that had the wiring diagram, it is just two wires, middle is redundant
thanks for the thoughts anyway
