loom and dizzy question
Turbo Mini Forums

hello i after a new loom and i got a quote from autosparks for a loom for mini clubman with metro turbo engine in it. this is what they came back with

"the harness set quoted is suitable for a 1972/75 Mini Clubman, with alternator modified to suit pre-engage starter"

would this be correct????

also what is the best dizzy for a metro T engine????

unless the loom in your car needs replacing dude there's no point at all, all it needs is 2 wires to the dizzy i think (mine was on elec ignition as standard before i turbo'd it) have a look for zeemax's post about no spark and its covered about 20 times in there how to wire in the dizzy.

The best dizzy for mutro turbo engine is a mutro turbo one, simple as. the advance curves on other dizzys aint right for it.

i wish my friend that that was the only problem....the loom i have at the moment has been totally bodged together by the bloke i brought it off.....might mean something to him but his wiring was a mess and i got connectors that have the wrong conectors on them to conect to the conector that its meant to conect to..... lol, how many time i say conectors.

best start afresh that way least i know whats what...

sounds like my loom that t@z!lol

been reasurred its ok even though when i took it out it had loops of wire leaving one part and reconnecting further down the same wire with nothing attached so no purpose! reason unknown!

fair enough dude, i'd try ebay first though. campfreddies usually have wiring looms for sale and cheap too. i had to replace mine a while ago after it melted. luckily my mate had a spare which i got for a tenner off him...bargain
