87Stallion

I am converting to carb. I bought a new 85 GT dizzy and Im using Duraspark II box. On the dizzy I have a solid black,purple/black and black/red wires. On the box I have a sold green,black/green, solid purple, and solid orange. I know you are supposed to match these up but the colors dont match. I know the solid green doesn't go to the dizzy.

Any ideas???


Also the shaft on this dizzy is shorter from the gear down than my orig 87 dizzy.

dizzy solid black-> black/green on box
dizzy black/red -> solid orange on box
dizzy purple/black -> solid purple on box
box solid green = neg side coil
box red = switched 12v
box white optional I grounded it


this is correct wiring trust me my 66 is this way

don't worry about the shaft as long as you got the one for a roller cam with steel gear your fine

THank you MJR. I thought the idiots gave me the wrong damn dizzy. It was almost impossible to find a dizzy for a 85 up here.

no your fine..my 66 is the same way..often times the aftermarket changes up the color code a little

Now I can wire all this up. Shouldn't be too bad. Im dying to see how she runs with a carb versus the EFI.

One more quick question. Where is the best place to run the red wire from the box?

Nevermind on the last question. I figured it out.
