Westfield Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 I have just brought a Crossflow engine (thanks Richard!) from a 1989 car that I am transplanting into my Westfield. The engine came complete with a Bosch distributor and also a Lucas electronic ignition amplifier. Can anyone advise me of how its wired.? The amplifier has 6 wires Black Black Red Green Black and white White The distributor has 3 wires coming from it Red Green Black Which wires go where? Also the distributor has a vacuum advance unit on it, should I leave this disconnected? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John E Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 ok are you ready for this looking at the amplifier from above you have coming out on the right at the top, black which goes to a joint earth. white and black which goes to the tacho white which goes to the coil positive red which goes to the distributor green which goes to the distributor black - top left - which goes to the distributor. Leave vac disconnected My original wiring had all of these going into a connection block on the cockpit side of the bulkhead. Run Baby Run does it really have anything less than full throttle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveMorris Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 Tony, did you get the 4-1 exhaust from Richard ? If so - do you need it or would you consider selling on (even in its slightly damaged form) ? Dave M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westfield Posted May 1, 2003 Author Share Posted May 1, 2003 Hi Dave I decided against the manifold from Richard because I brought the engine to go into a Westfield and I would not have fitted. He may still have it, have you contacted him? Regards Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
