firstly i have just converted my 1l to 8v carb 1.6 vitara motor and just got it back on the road and i have a few issues that im hoping someone and/or many can help me with so here goes..

1st problem is i have misses in acceleration as im going through the gears intermitantly and from 3/4 to full throtle i have nothing but poping like its not firing and im not sure where this is coming from not sure if i have wired the carby wrong or even if its as simple as an old dizzy cap..

secondly i wired my alternater through the red and white wire on the brake master cylinder float sensor and the neg (i think..) on the coil it charges and i do have enough brake fluid in the bowl but those two lights dont go off whilst running the oil and park brake both do as they are supose to but i think i have royaly screwed up somewhere (no suprise to me i was just happy she ran )

well if u think u can help me on one or both of these dramas i would appreciate it and i hope i havn't made some noob mistake

Did you remove the voltage regulator from under the glove box and bridge the terminals?

Are you still using the old points coil or one to suit the electronic 1.6 dissy?

[nick_bj40]

No I couldn't find it I'll look under the glovebox tonight

Yes I am using the same coil as I was in my swb (which I had this engine and gearbox setup running) so unsure of my problems

Have you removed the ballast resistor from the 1.0 firewall?

Christover posted up pics of how to bridge the regulator plug a while back.

Ok ballast resister was to blame for the misfiring and im yet to sort out the voltage reg but want33s I owe u big u have saved me so much head scratching
