Cheers guys When I purchased the car it had a 1.6 pinto lump in it my mechanic told me the engine is no good I looked for a engine and found a early 2.0 pinto think the guy had it in a kit car Old 1.6 engine in engine bay and the replacement one that is in it now at the time was on the floor He didnt take the distributor from the old engine he left it as it is and I sold the old engine few years ago

<blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="sheffieldcortinacentre" data-cid="673555" data-time="1527038194"><p> This may be a little hard to explain but here goes....<br /> <br /> In the next to last pic (showing the dizzy) there's a wire comeing from the condenser (round metal canister ) with a red crimped tube on it going to a black plastic box ( this is a sort of suppressor ) it's got two black wires going into it (by looks of it).<br /> <br /> Split the wire at red tube & join it to the other pair ( bypassing the suppressor) if you then get a spark at points/plugs make a good joint, ( the suppressor fails & thus cuts power to ign ) some have these others don't it wont effect the car & doesn't seem to have any use.<br /> <br /> They wire from the condenser should go straight to the coil (but it looks to have a non ford coil & the wires look to have been altered).<br /> <br /> The std set up would have a black wire comeing from loom to coil then a wire from opposite side of coil to dizzy .<br /> <br /> Unfortunately even with your pics it's hard to tell what's what, so frustrating if we were closer could probably sort in little time.</p></blockquote> Thank you Craig will try that tomorrow afternoon

Those are the cables connected to battery and the last picture shows fan connected direct

I will give it a good look on Sunday, Greg do you think the loom I have fitted is not compatible ? This loom has 2 relays and my replacement one had 3 I still have a spare loom Can I just connect the loom to fuse box and ignition switch and give it another go to start to see if it makes a different
