Trev's Guide To Repairing 4age Dizzy Wiring

[Trev084]

Hey guys, The other day i had to find a way to repair broken dizzy wiring on a 4age so i just cut the wiring down and repinned it, I did the same thing to my car today when i made the wiring harness so i thought id do a step by step guide for the FAQ.

Pictured is the plug with broken/exposed wiring:

Tools required (3mm heatshrink, Lighter or heatgun, Narva plug connector pins, Plug connector crimpers):

Step 1, Cut off the wires and remove the grommet:

Step 2, Remove old female terminals by using a skinny pointed object to push on the holding tab while forcing the terminal out of the back of the plug:

Step 3, Identify the wire locations on the distributor plug (makes it easier when putting the grommet on):

Step 5, Put heat shrink on the wires so that approx 1cm of wiring is showing and shrink it:

You will end up with it looking like this:

Step 8, Insert the terminals into the plug and push the grommet back into the plug:

Final step, Once you have done that you will have a plug that has no breaks or exposed wiring that will be stronger than it previously was:
