Hi everyone,
I am in the final stage to crank my 1970 XJ6 series 1, however I am facing an ignition issue, I have changed pretty much everything on the ignition line (HT Coil, Ballast resistor, Condensator, points, spark plugs, HT leads) but I am not getting any spark. I have run mutiple tests to check voltage, continuity and so on, and I have noticed weird readings as follow:
Contact Ignition on:
Coil Positive to ground 5.98V
Coil Negative to ground 0.7V
Coil Positive to negative 5.45V
Something's wrong somewhere and that's I am chasing for advice(s) as well as a correct wiring Diagram !
Thanks
Bertrand

 

Bertrand we have the charts but depending on the original market the car was sold in there are differences. You also do not say which engine your car is fitted with. 4.2L or ???

 

Hi,
Sorry for the late answer. My XJ is 1970 XJ 4.2litre. Attached is the VIN plate
Thanks
Bertrand
