Bosch electronic dizzy - wiring query help!

[Dave Price]

My Pinto has a Bosch electronic dizzy, just need confirmation on the wiring.  It has 3 wires.  Orange, Black, Brown.  Black looks like an earth link, it is the others I am confused by.   Most articles i have found on the web talk of an orange wire and a violet (some say purple).  Should i connect orange to where they say the orange goes and then brown to where the violet goes?  I have several print outs from various forums but don't see brown wires.  Got all the other module connections sorted.  Can somebody confirm?  Many thanks Dave

Is this the Bosch dizzy with the plug on the side?

I have a spare in the garage drrawer. If it came from a sierra then there will be a 'box of tricks' to go with it, I may have a new one of those too. Haynes manual should give you a better idea of what pin numbers are what and where the wires go... Do you have a haynes for the Sierra? If not I have one of those too...

I'll go and check before I take me nice warm outdoor kit off.

Ade, yes Bosch dizzy with 3 pin plug on the side.  I have got the seperate ignition module, bought new, but no loom from the vehicle.  I have read the Haynes manual but found wires with colour codes that weren't in the code key.  That being colour ref. O. , so thinking about it that must be orange.  So by default that leaves one wire left and one terminal left, so by default they must go together.  Guess I have just answered my own question.

I went and got my haynes manual, still looking.

I know I have the dizzy at the back of the garage, in a drawer but the electronic box turned out to be the dim/dip relay... 

The wiring for the dizzy is complicated by the different models and engine specs all having variations in the ignition system, just looking for one with an orange wire...

Wired it all up, but no joy.  Need to do some fault finding.  Some of my temporary loom is a lash up, with start by continuity testing all the wires.  

[Dave Price]

Found the problem.  Continuity tested two wires, pulled the next one off to test it and one of the joins split.  Lesson to self, don't rush making connections.  Now have a spark.  Then connected some fuel.  No joy.  Poured some fuel down the carb and it fired.  Looks like the fuel pump is duff.

Wayne, thanks for the offer.  However, i will do some more checking first, it could be it was drawing air.
