distributer problem maby?

theres a good possibility i put those on the wrong side. those smaller plugin wires go negative side correct? it wasnt like that before in sum older pictures i got with other coils so thats just what i did today getting things hooked back up. there any other possibilities?

the yellow, small wires go to the negative. the black/white wires (large gauge) connect to the + side.

also make sure you have the right coil for the right yellow wire, one is trailing and one is leading (and another off the trailing to the tach)

thats weird also cause my tachometer doesnt work either. possibly try swapping those plugins on the neg side and see if that makes any difference?

yes. reconnect them all in the correct fashion.

alright did little work today on the coils had the car fire off twice today but now to much fuel again... thinking possibly im going to have to get the carb rebuilt more than likely. jets arent squirting but dribbling out, and that little bowl is filling up with fuel. wasnt doing all this before but new situation.

try adjusting the floats first and look at your acelerator pump for fuel leaks. it was my original issue, i only rebuilt because of a stuck shut secondary flap on the carb and a leaky glass seal. lso if you rebuild that nikki stormberg be careful of the rats nest, that thing breaks easy and you need to remove it to get to the carb bolts. or you can take it via removing the intake manifold. That will also open up some stuff you may consider maintinencing. two o rings that the antifreeze runs through they tend to deteriorate and the other gasket gets pretty bad. when i fixed mine i found no orings and i was sucking coolant into the engine, which explained destroying spark plugs. just some advice from a fairly new owner of an 83 rx-7 12a, i'm assuming you have the same motor judgig the pics. have fun.

ive torn out the ratsnest lol couldnt handle all that vacuum stuff goin on and was going to have to replace all that rubber as well as some of the metal in it due to rust...(car lived on the beach for a bit) so only thing thats being run is brake booster and distributer. only two main things i been told it needs. and like i said wasnt having this issue with the carb before but that base plate appears to still be causing sum problems and i will probally have to find another. but carb im using actually came off a 83' but mines a 1.1 12a i actually found a guy around my town here that owns 6 rx7s from what im told and im going to be giving him a call here shortly and see what he thinks. and ive already taken all that intake stuff off when i replaced the exhaust header with a racing beat one and got rid of that ole box lookn thing that was smoknlol
