Exclamation xr3 carb engine wiring up to hcs escort bonus? help

done this one years ago, there should be a 5 pin plug to take a subloom for the coil etc, but not always there on late models. with regards to the rev counter, you may need to change to earlier xr3i/turbo clocks as the coil-pack models rev counter will run at half speed. if your coil/dizzy are wired up correctly you should have used a green(-coil) and black(+coil) for coil; these two pair over onto dizzy and a brown from dizzy to earth. this may leave you with a spare green from the original edis module loom shouldnt require connecting. btw if your left with a green/brown wire, this is usually your oil pressure light.
