Hi:
Well I finally resolved my no spark issue but in the meantime noticed this empty - but used looking - spade lug on the top of the fan housing. Any info on what used to go there would be appreciated. '73 1.7L Thanks, Ron |

I was thinking D-Jet cars in my comments above, but the 1.8L cars also have a ground wire in the ignition harness that could attach there.

I was thinking D-Jet cars in my comments above, but the 1.8L cars also have a ground wire in the ignition harness that could attach there. you are on it mr, b with the L jets. the ignition harness wire on mine goes straight to the coil, but on one of those images of alternatives it goes to that ground lug on the engine and then another wire goes to the coil. but then there is another one, which seems to have the same ground (Brown wire) snaking back along the ignition harness wire and is doing something different. i might take my car out with these photos and get an opinion from my mech about it. mine runs fine, but there is something going on there with that lug for L jets. electricity is my weakness and i had not thought about any of this until i saw this post... now i am wondering. but maybe these lugs are on 1.8s which might throw some light on enquiry about what engine is in the "1.7"? |
