It could be anything from the points up, you need to eliminate a few of the obvious things first, points if you have them,connections,plugs/leads etc. Mind you this information is only relevant for a UK model, imports may be completely different. :lol:

This is what the relay looks like with Dyna Coils. I used just a standard automotive relay.

They do things differently in the States.
