Metro Dizzy wiring
Turbo Mini Forums

Hey guys

In South Africa we didn't get the A+ motor with all its fancy bits.

But i've managed to get an A+ dizzy with the turbo stuff that i bought.



Only problem is, how do i wire it up ?

Got two wires, one with a female spade and the other a male one, which one goes where ?

Both to the coil - you need the correct "electronic" coil, it will have the corresponding (opposite) male and female to make sure you can't get it the wrong way around and the coil itself just gets 12V on the side marked "+".

Make sure it is getting 12V (white wire) and not a ballast feed (pink/white) as the electronic module needs 12V not the ballast wire 8-9V.

We got away with using the ballast wire on the van for about 5-6k. I know this is wrong but we didn't realise this was the case until we pulled the engine.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

definitely use an electronic type coil, a normal one kills the electronic unit :(

cool, will look for an electronic one this weekend.

Hoping i can swap out the dizzy drive for an A series one to fit in our South African blocks.

If you search the web there is a step by step guide to do the distributor drive swap - sorry I cant give you a link, but I did this about 10 years ago.

Be carefull, apart from the fact the the A Series are clamped in differently to the A plus, the drive dog plate is also slightly different. You may have to take the drive dog off an A series and fit it to the A plus electronic one. Simple roll pin to drive out IIRC.
