iv elooked and looked....i must be too strupid. I kNOW theres a wiring diagram or two around here for a 79ish pinto...just cant find it. HELP please i gotta get my pinto running
??? What exactly is the problem you`re having?Can you narrow it down a bit? There are alot of knowledgable people on here that can help...
the problem is that im working on a kit car that somebody unfortunately chopped a pinto for engine.trans,rear end etc...,and theres a little stock wiring,a whole ton of aftermarket "painless"(ouch my ash!)wiring,fuse panel all not hooked up! i already figured the cranking circuit,i just gotta wire the ignition now. Im pretty good with wiring,but im absoutley lost here without a diagram. i dont know what year it was,but it doesent have points it has the thick sticky goo film ignition module instead......so if enybody out there could throw me a diagram for that stuff i would appreciate it! also i will need a lighting diagram but im more in need of a igniton diagram for now. PLEASE HELP!

thick gooey film ignition module; didnt come from a pinto.
Thats the brain box out of a 79-86ish mustang. Its what we wired the ministock with.
Try this link I think the ignition your using is in the diagram at the bottom of the page. http://static.zoovy.com/merchant/racerwalsh/Back_2_Basics_Sheet.doc
copy and paste it into your adress bar.
If the link doesnt work then
The site is www.racerwalsh.com go to technical info on the left hand side
hmm....all the documantation says pinto and its got the pinto headlight awitcvhes and such....my module has 6 wires not 4 or 5 2 on one connector(red and white) and 4 on the other.......so this is mustang eh? now im super lost lol. Krap. Oh well thanks fo rth einfo so far and if enybody else can help lemme know. thanks
Ok....figured it out...its duraspark2 ignition....i found a great site here: http://home.cfl.rr.com/mustangsix/Engine/duraspark.htm
not only does it show how it was wired originally......it shows how to wire it with a msd box and such too!!! very cool site. They say this stuff can be swapped into the older 200s and 250s......so mabye this will help somebody else. thanks to all that have helped. I hope my link helps someone here thats fiddling with duraspark ignition. thanks guys!
And thank you for the link. Glad you figured it out. But when you said thick gooey film, i thought you were referring to the distributor that has the control module bolted to the side of the distributor, they put a film of white grease between the module and its mounting location on the distributor. If you have a thick sticky gooey film on a duraspark box, something aint right with it.
yeah everything sticks to it....actually works though! nice blue spark too! all i need now is the wiring diagram for the charging system and the one for the turn signals and headlights
