I`ve just got the parts for my TR ignition upgrade,but before I tear out the old stuff I have a couple of quick questions.
1) Do I have to set the engine to top dead centre to change the distributor?
2) On the old coil (89 YJ) there are 3 wires in the connecting harness, 1 negative wire and 2 positive wires.
one of the positive wires goes to the bracket which holds the coil(is it an earth?).
Do I keep this wire and if so what do I do with it?
Thanks in advance for your help,I`ll let you know how it goes.
Actually if you look close the + wire that goes to the bracket actually goes to a little clylinder like thing. Its called a filter capasitor and its job in life is to filter some of the interferance that the coil generates on you radio. I never hooked it back up when I did the tr and I haven't noticed any radio interferance.
About bloody time some of the people in the U.K. do the upgrade. Done mine this summer. Got all the details on my website (also part no's for the U.K.)
Mine starts first time now. If I leave the Jeep standing all weekend, all I have to do is pump the pedal once or twice and it fires straight up... But this is to do with the fuel syphoning back to the tank.
