Reverse wires

Brad, I tried your suggestion without success. The main problem being I just couldn't get the car to run... Even if I rotated the diz through its full range it wouldn't go. I mean I didn't take the thing out but I rotated probably the full 30 degree before and after and I just couldn't get it to ...

Geez Brad that's a weird one! Firstly yes, I am running a BIM024 ignition module which is brand new. If I reversed the pickup wire +/- the car would run on maybe 4 cylinders..but not really... It wouldn't be anywhere near drivable that's for sure.. My +/- wiring from the diz runs a fair way away ...
