hello i have a 83 brat when i got it out of a junkyard the motor was gone and i had a 1.8 ea82 laying around so i put it in it and the problem im having is the engine wiring harness a few wires were cut for quick removal. i didnt want to put the computer out of my 90 loyale in the brat so i converted it to carb. i put a dist. off a ea81 changed the gear on the bottom and i have 2 wires coming off the dist a black which is my hot to the coil and a yellow which is negative. but it wont start if i hooked up my dist out of the car to my hott and spun the dist the yellow should be hott right? i think im missing a control module or something seems like it would go from the coil to the control module then to the dizzy which means getting fire from the module. what am i missing? thanks all help is well appreciated thanks derrick
