vit 1.6 8v into a JAP 410 wiring

Coil/Dizzy
Make sure you are using a 1.3/1.6 coil. The 410 one with a ballast resistor is not suitable.
From loom the Black/White tracer goes to coil +
Rev counter (brown) if you have one goes to coil-
From dizzy Black/White tracer goes to coil+
From dizzy Brown/White tracer goes to coil-
Brown and Black/Green tracer from loom doesn't need to connect to anything at this end.

It’s wired up the same as a 1.3
Starter
+feed from battery to + terminal as usual
Black/Yellow tracer from loom to the spade terminal
Black/Green tracer from loom is not needed

Alternator
Uses the same colour wires as original
White/Yellow tracer to bolted +terminal
Black/white to Ignition live terminal on plug
White/red to Lamp terminal on plug.
Fuel stop solenoid on factory 1.6 carb
Usually a green connector on the carb but sometimes brown (There is also a idle up connector but this is not nneded, if the fuel stop connector is green this will be brown and vice versa)

Find an ignition live (black w/white tracer) and connect it to the black w/white tracer wire from the stop solenoid.
Then just earth the black wire if there is one.

Fuel stop solenoid can be ignored if running an SU carb.

how long does it take to do one of these conversions?

I think the main long part of it is fabricating new mounts for the engine and gearbox...
It's much easier doing it to the 1.3 SJ/Samurai

If you get all the bits needed I think you could do the conversion in a day, it's not really that hard.

Well finally got round to my conversion 1.6 8v into a 410 tin top it did take me all bank holiday fag and beer breaks included but hey its worth it the boneshaker now flys;) but I've no idle I haven't conected the fuel stop solonoid yet or a brown connecter on the inlet manifold?? What is it? Do I need it? It's a bit of handfull trying to keep it running in traffic...

The fuel stop solenoid not being wired up is what is causing it to stall at idle, find a black w/white tracer to wire up the stop solenoid and just earth the black. (now added to the first post)

The other (brown) connector is part of the idle up system and not needed.

Nice one Scottie that is me sorted and so promptly

Can anyone tell me what connector block/colour wires go to the ignition barrel please. At the moment I am turning it over by bypassing, using a bit of wire on the starter terminals which I don't really want to keep doing. Many thanks, Eddie

Currently doing mine atm will I need to change the dizzy to a 1.3 as this is mine and do I use a 1.6 coil or 1.3 thanks

I have connected the 1.6 coil up but where do I connect the earth wire as it was connected to the + on the 1.0 coil thanks
