rev limiter wiring on a 1.7 340

Post by erixtar1992 » 01 Feb 2012 07:53 pm

hey guys, ive got a 1986 1.7 340 and i want to install my spark cut rev limiter,

the problem im having is that it has a wire which goes to the negative side of the coil. as i found out earlier the volvo has a different type.

so i need to know where to put the negative wire to on the 340's setup!

ive found this picture, but i dont know for sure. can anyone help?

cheers eric

it on non of the plugs, get a TX20 bit and unscrew the 2 torx bolts holding the coil, on the lower part of the 2 small clamps (the bit that doesn't move/hold the coil directly) you can quite easaly solder a wire onto; my rev limiter used both sides of the coil

as to wich is the negative, i thought it is the side near the A plug; but not 100% sure on that!!

got it wired up in the end, negative was indeed the side nearest to plug a. there is a pin sticking out which i connected the limiter too. set it at about 4.5k at the mo
