ignition pickup coil ground wire????
I have installed an 84 motor into my 86 frame and have run into a problem. The 84 has 2 wires on the pickup coil and the 86 has only 1, the extra seems to be a ground by looking at diagrams. Can I use this set up and just ground this wire to frame?? Or do I need to replace parts and if so what?? I do not have 86 motor or parts from it. Please help I am trying to get this going before memorial weekend. Thanks gadgetman
"Ground is ground", if on the 84 both wires are ground then there is no issue.
I don't see any wiring differences for the 2 model years in the service manual online. It may just reflect a manufacturing and/or vendor change. As far as I know the engines for 84-87 are all interchangeable with no wiring/electronic differences EDIT: As it relates to the coil wiring to ground.
