The relay in  question is high speed fan relay for ac. Dissy should have a pink wire which has 12v in run & start position  & also white wire which is output from dissy to tacho. These should be two individual plugs into dissy for these wires.  There should be no wire going to relay from dissy. Remove the pink wire & run a wire with spade connector from dissy  terminal to battery + on alternator then try to start engine

I hope you bought a half decent one I put a chinese one in my 79 gave up on me going down the coast, was doing 100k on freeway then nothing. Did you use heat sink paste under module?

Bought a Proflow distributor from VPW so nicked all the bits off that. Yes, plenty of heat sink paste under the module.

You are troubling me now. Why buy and xfer ALL parts if you had the culpit module.
Why not swap over complete Dizzies or just the module.

A new complete dizzy is NEW, has no bearing (bush) wear, or pinion wear etc good for twenty years.

Anyway - happy cruising hope to see you around.

Changing out a distributer , can be a bit of a chalange for someone who has not done one before.

Was going to install the new dizzy, but due to lack of experience, wanted it to be the last thing I'd do. Honestly thought it was the fuel pump and changed that, then maybe the leads or coil so changed them, then was told by an associate he had the same problem with the dizzy module so changed that and all fixed. Will eventually change the distributor when I get a hand down the track, but at least the car is back to normal and driveable now.
