Am in process of setting up my 1600 xflow with electronic ignition.

I have a Bosch, contactless xflow dizzie, which has, surprisingly enough, a Bosch connector. This is a 3-pin blade type connector. See below for pic.

Now I've found a potential source for replacement Ford ign modules. There is one supposedly for my dizzie (Fiesta XR2 Mk 1). However, it has a Bosch 4-pin connector. See pic below.

So how do you couple the dizzie to this ign module? Or am I missing something?

Now that's what you call a concise question and answer session - have a gold star boys

Thanks, Mr.Whippy. That's a very comprehensive answer.

But it still doesn't solve the main point about connecting a 3-pin, blade socket to a similar 4-pin plug.

Guess I'll have to contact Bosch, for some new terminals.

ones the tacho feed

use bullet connections instead, easy

Nah, Mr. Whippy.

Your bottom diag shows the solution, I've now realised.

There's a connecting link between dizzie and module, which provides 3-pin socket (#6) at one end (for dizzie), and 4-pin connector (#4) at the module end.

Alles klar - many thanks for the diags.
