A points dizzy doesn't need an ignition module to run - you just need a coil and the dizzy.

Someone should be along with a diagram soon but it's pretty easy.

Cheers

how about this:




The only difference is that this is for a single cylinder engine so the HT lead goes to the dizzy first then the plugs but otherwise the principle is the same. the ignition switch goes in between the battery and the coil

The diagram above is for a positive earth vehicle, not the usual negative earth cars of today, but shouldn't be too hard to figure that out.

Ah Old age it creeps up on you.
Basically swap the + and - around and it's all the same diagram anyways 9 with an ign switch in line of course).
