Connectors?We don't need connectors.The Previous Owner of my truck was nice enough to throw some female spade connectors on the wires for my coil.

That reminds me,I need to get a connector from the junkyard if I can find one.

Hope ya get her fixed tomorrow man,and I hope you don't have to go anywhere.

 

[5.0Flareside]

DAM!!!! i aint quite able to figure this out yet....

ive got the tach wired in the rest of the way, but i still cant get my truck to start.. its like its not getting any spark, i know its getting fuel, but no spark.. this is gonna be frustrating...

 

[5.0Flareside]

AND SHE'S RUNNING!!!!! got it figured out.. just gotta mount the tach now...

And what was wrong?


I'd also like to point out, you got your truck to not run from a simple 3-4 wire hook up. So what are we supposed to think what really happened to your friends Nissan you worked on? HAHAHHAHAHA...just ball busting man.
