78-83 cdi box pinouts?
Would anyone by chance know the pinouts for a 78-83 bosch 6 pin cdi box? I know two wires must go to the (hall sensor)spelling?) Right now the two wires comming out of that sensor are not labeled. I have heard if I hook them up backwards it will burn it out. Is there any way to determine the correct wires from the hall sensor to the cdi box?
Thanks for reading this and any input will be greatly appreciated. Have a happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!! Matt Last edited by MMe025; 12-28-2003 at 12:38 PM.. |

Not sure if this answers your question but thought it might help perma-tune shows the pin out. go to the technical support selection for your particular car. http://www.perma-tune.com/Products/Ignition%20modules/Porsche/Porsche%20Products.htm example of 911sc and 930 6 pin: 1 = System ground 4 = Not Used 2 = Tachometer signal 5 = Power 3 = Signal ground (distributor pin B) Green wire shield 6 = Signal (distributor pin A) Green wire center conductor |

Reversing these wires does nothing. doesn't even change the timing.

The wires from the distributor (reluctance magnetic pickup & not Hall) MUST
be oriented correctly or the ignition timing will be retarded. The CDI unit senses the negative edge of the dist. signal to generate a spark. Reversing the wires will result in a very poor running car. Good Luck Loren '88 3.2
