My AE86 E. Levin build

[Saltie Olds]

Does anyone know how I’d wire the distributor, on the 4A GE engine? I know the firing order is 1-3-4-2, but where does the wire from the middle of the cap go?

Thank You

The middle wire on any distributor goes to the high voltage (center) terminal on the ignition coil (often mounted off-engine on a wheel-well or firewall).

Great, Thank You. I just need to decide if I want to wire it and see if I have an extra coil to mount behind the battery.

The ignition coil on the 86 is between the battery and shock tower on the (US) drivers side of the engine bay.

Thank You. I also realized that I’ll have to move the brake master cylinder to the left side of the car as well.
