[Mgs] 1974 chrome bumper MGB ignition coil

[laf48 at aol.com]

lrc I believe you are correct. My customer stated that the engine would shut off in 20-30 seconds, and he verified it with a timing light. It has an Allison electronic breakerless system, he insisted to  replace it and the coil with a known good coil and a points plate first. I said it could be the Tachometer. Known good points plate and coil installed, no change. I pulled off the 2 wire connector for the tachometer, DONE!

As I remember the tach is a pass through for the distributor, so it might be both to the tach

Thanks Barney, but I have 3 wires on the distributor side, one to the points, and the terminal that goes to the tachometer has a double wire connection, so 1 to the points, 1 to the tachometer, where does the other one go to, or do they both go to the tachometer?

Two W/B wires there on one terminal, one from coil "-" todistributor, and one from coil "-" to tachometer.
