Ready to run dizzy, two wire

[polyjohn]

hello Folks,

Anyone running a 'new style' two wire electronic Dizzy.
Just bought one to run on our engine 'run-in stand'.

No wiring diagram, just red to coil and black to ground the seller said.
Does this sound OK?

Best wishes from Poly John.

Maybe @HALIFAXHOPS can answer your question.

 

[HALIFAXHOPS]

Both wires to the coil.

What brand is it. Msd and Mancini sell them but most will have 4 wires. Two to the coil, One ground and One for the tachometer.

The old electronic distributor (often called a dizzy, for those souls that do not know how to spell correctly) conundrum......how to connect two wires....which go to what terminal or source of power or ground or black or red???..... how about a magneto....which require no wire connections...self contained.....WICO was a name brand that was used on early 392 Hemi dragster engines...why not give it a try.....you'll be "shocked" as to well it works......

But with a magneto, NO external wires or COIL is required or needed....the magneto is self contained...no external power is required .....the dwell and high voltage windings are all done internally.......no muss no fuss....be the first to show your buddies how simple and ignition system can be.....BTW......your drawing shows a GM/Chevy distributor.....how about a MOPAR distributor......

Same drawing different distributor. Other than the tach input.

Thanks for the replies Guys, its just a no-name Chinese thingy.

Two wires and not a lot else...

Wow how did that happen???

 

[OneWheelPeel]

If I got one of those and wasn’t sure how to wire it I would bench test with a spare coil, some wire and a battery. Also a way to know it at least fires before starting the installation.

Based on this (and not being an a$$hole critic, but trying to really help), It seems is just a 12 volt signal input and output to coil signal just like a points system. Ground must be via chassis

The one you got seems to be a generic Chinese piece rebranded by several sellers. You can even find it at AliExpress under diff brands with same description of the one I just posted.

Bob,
I can hear your wife calling you......

She called and said: keep providing a critique aimed at those "self proclaimed experts" that have no clue as to how an ignition system is supposed to operate....both fundamentally and actually....using correct names for these components.......

She is calling again.....trash has to go out for collection...

Post #13. No, not grd via the chassis. Th dizzy in post #10 uses the Bosch 4 pin module [ or copy ]. The grd return is via the dist body. Same deal as GM HEI. So make sure the dist clamp makes good contact with the dizzy. I actually grind some 'teeth' into the mounting feet of the clamp to ensure a good connection.

 

[Nacho-RT74]

That’s what I’m saying! Ground via body/chassis! What it was wrong on what I said?.

Red, 12 volts
Black, to coil (-)
Ground via chassis/body…

Language issue?
