having established its the overun relay, just need to find out where the sinlge seperate wire from it goes, pretty sure its the coil neg but if someone with a rrc could confirm this for me that would be great,as i cant trace it throught the haynes wiring diagrams
ps anyone got a 6.8 ballast resitor lying about, ive made one up but im not 100% happy with it.
thanks
again

Hi 2005Lyndon

I've been out to look at my 1988 3.5 flapper, and attach a pic of the wiring from my relay. The three wires from the bottom all go off in the loom which runs back towards the plenum chamber.

The top wire on my car is white (but looks like it may not be original) and connects to the coil terminal, which in turn is connected by white wire to the distributor. The wire from the other coil terminal to the dizzy is black and white.

Hope this helps

Pete

Sorry forgot to look at that first time.

Been out for another look - it's the negative.
