I hate wiring.
I've worked for BT for 25 years and still can't get my head round anything but the simplest wiring diagrams.
It's one of those things like languages- if your brain ain't wired right you'll never get it
Saying that, most older vehicle wiring can be broken down into several simple chunks so i can mostly do that ok
Solder and heatshrink all joints, make sure all earth connections to the car are corrosion free and tight (you know when you see the car in front indicate and the brake/ reverse lights flash? Bad earth nightmares!)
Had a battery drain on my BMW. Had it over to an auto electrician in Burnley. The guy had the car for a week, could he find the problem? Could he f...lippin' heck as like!
Thanks.
Just to double check I'm making some HT leads with HEI connections at the moment,the plug ends are pre-made
On the Dizzy end Do you just put in the wire here in here and crimp?(see pic) i have striped the wire and bent the core back on itself so it runs along the outer insulation for about 3/8"
So i just crimp it there? and just slide the the distributor boot back over?
I made one earl yer and it worked and had good Continuity
It may be a dumb question! this but I'm just checking i have done it correctly before i continue cheers.

Yes, you are doing it right.

Are they Stronger then Clivey? the crimping works well but its not good at cutting wire,that tool cost me £20 from Real Steel its better than average but you can still get them for under £10 i should have shopped around
I have those ratchet crimpers, they are excellent, until you pinch the skin on your hand in them, then you've got to endure the pain of cranking them up before they release...ouch!
The pump don’t work coz the vandals took the handles.
