yesterday i went to bens {people100} house to hook up his elec ignition to my car, but it didnt work, we tried a few different connections but it was to ne avail.
we used a 20RE/22RE elec dizzy guts in a 18RG housing, we also used his 20RE/22RE coil and ignitor
can you ppl please show your wiring setups

i still say it was just timing because when i put it back in my car it went first go....Maybe next time we will set it up my way...

Unless there was a issue with the cap fitting the dizzy....maybe next time we should use a different cap etc and there should be no problems....It has me stumped because it went first go when i used it

the plugs where the dizzy connects onto the ignitor might be a bit funny.. i had same problem with mine.. i got resistance from the pick up but stil had no spark till i played around with the plugs and it works every time now

we swapped plugs lots of times...Im thinking its either one of to 2 things....the timing was that far out it just wouldnt spark at all...or your dizzy cap doesnt sit right on the dizzy...maybe they were different dizzies...Maybe next time we can swap everything...but i tested it and it deffinetly had power everywhere

So you didnt check to see if you had a spark out of the coil?

it would still spark if the timing is a mile out.... no it is not cause i changed plugs.. i just wiggled the plugs a bit and it worked after not working.

i used the coil and ignitor setup from my car...Everything is in working condition...There also was power at the coil...i thinking maybe his dizzy cap was not working on the dizzy properly ort his rotor button was different to whatr im using..thats all it can be
