Hello i have an 88 rs 5.0 ybi, i bought a distributor for the car but i can only find 1 of the 2 connectOrs that go pluged into the ignition module, i bought the car without an distributor, also if its an ignition module why does the rotor have a center connector? Herea some pictures

 

BumP.

 

Do you have the plug that goes in the bigger socket? The wire from the coil goes in the little one. The coil output goes to the center terminal. Are you missing the coil?

 

Yep - that's an external coil distributor. You need a coil.

 

WAt i need a what??? External coil? Then the center wire goes to th outer coil?

 

yeah you got a external coil distributor. So either get a coil or get one with an internal coil. DUI has them new or you can go to the bone yards.

 

Yes. External coil. Just like the older dizzies.

People have attached the name of 'HEI' to the dizzies with the coil on top, whereas in reality, even the slightly older dizzies were a HEI. 2 different HEIs. External & Internal coils.

Nothing wrong with the external coil. Use it & go.

 

But my car, i can only find 1 cinnector...... So what should i do?

 

Which connector do you have? Do you have a Haynes or Chiltons manual or any kind of book with diagrams? I'll see if I can get some pics to show how the setup should be

 

I can only find the 4 pin connector

 

That's the only distributor connector that comes on the engine harness, the other one comes from the coil. I took some pics that may help explain. Could you send me your email address again for pics, I haven't found it yet. Never mind, I found it
