Hi guys,

when removing my distributor cap on my 86 5.0 TPI , I noticed that there were two plugs on the cap but also a small plastic covered "earth Connector"

does anyone know where this should go ?

Many Thanks

 

I think somebody cut the crap out of your wiring,everything is a plug and play on the distributor.

 

thanks for the pics , the distributor on mine has the two connectors which are perfect however this small single "brown connector" comes out of the same loom as the other two connectors, it may meant to be unplugged but I would rather check

mine is the dizzy with the coil pack on the top, its an 85 model

you can see the brown connector in the pic

 

That connector does plug into the distributor. That is the tachometer signal wire.

 

Ah that's brilliant as mine isn't working , do you know where abouts as I could not see a connection anywhere . Thank you so much for your help

 

In your photo, do you see where the dirty red wire plugs into the cap?

Notice where it plugs in, there's the words "BAT" molded into the cap? Right next to where it reads "BAT", it reads "TACH".

 

Thanks mate. Is the BAT one for the volt gauge on the dash?

 

No, that is the power to the coil.

 

Does any of your gauges work??particularly the oil and the tack??
