21rc igniter wiring

HI guys,
I've tried a search on this subject but came up with no answers. I'm converting an 18r dizzy to electronic ignition using a 21rc guts and igniter. Nothing too hard there. On the igniter theres two green plugs, TAN which is 12+ and yellow which I'm unsure about. I've ran through all my celica diagrams and cant find it. It might be earth or tacho output, anybody got a few spare minutes and a multimeter. Thanks guys.

I'll look into it - I put electronic ignition from a 21RC into a 3TC, piece of cake, just cant remember which wires go where. Send me a PM reminder, or call into a wreckers etc and have a look. Did you get it with the coil as well? If the yellow wired plug comes off the negative terminal, its for the tacho.

Im not sure if this will help you or not, but when i replaced an igniter from an 18RG with a bosch one, the yellow wire was the tacho wire..it basically comes from the coil- through a series resistance...unfortunately I cant tell you the resistance because i removed it from the board to fit back into the car...
hope that helps

Dont forget to get a coil that does not need an external resistor, and spark plugs to suit - otherwise the car will run like crap, and have detonation probs etc...
Its well worth the effort - never have to do points again!

so I have to change to 21rc spark plugs as well? I'll have to have a look in the celica manual. I got the whole coil and dizzy assembly, I'm waiting for a lend of a timing gun to try it out.

I actually searched and didnt find anything on the subject, aahh well. This is the first that I've heard about a condenser on the 21rc igniter. I dont think that i've see one before, then again i'd never seen a car with a live axle until last year. So, you put a capacitor on the + input of the coil?

All fitted and working brilliantly. It's a good improvement on a set of points. Recommended.
