Toyota wiring

Jcampbell54 · Sep 1, 2013

Ok I got fed up with the factory harness on my 84 toyota. Chasing shorted wires and such. Anyways. I'm wiring it myself with just the basics. I need help with how to wire the coil and igniter, and the voltage regulator for the alternator. Anybody have some tips? Any help is much appreciated.

ok ! so I checked my setup !! the bottom of the coil / igniter has 7 wires ,2 plug to coil , 2 go to dist and hope they still have plug ,

the 3 left are wraped togeather
brown to ignition switch power
black is tach if used
white I have going to nothing
the igniter base must be grounded somehow "to frame or ground wire"
Hope this helps !!

What do you do to kill the motor? Switched power supply?

if you go with an msd box then you can get rid of the igniter an factory coil then use a msd coil. makes everything easier
