in Engine & Drivetrain
Hey guys! First timer here, just bought a 91 RT wagon a couple months ago, little turd had almost zero compression so I bought a DOHC ZC and swapped it in. It will start but for seconds at a time. Im getting code 15.

Does anyone have legit wiring instructions for repinning the dizzy?
I keep getting broken links to thezcr or whatever that epic website was.

I used the harness that came with the DOHC ZC and rewired the plug on the driver side. I have two extra wires, I need this car for work way bad!:mad::mad::mad::confused::confused::confused:

ANY HELP IS GOD SENT. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!!!

    1) should have gone OBD1 IMO with a Z6 instead.
    2) give WireWorx a call and see if they can help since they do it for a living.

    Saw that thread a few times, touches on it a bit but they arent as specific as I need. They dont even say what to do with the extra 2 wires.

    Can you post photo's of the wiring in question? Maybe a video of it turning over, on and shutting off?

    I put an OBD0 DOHC ZC into my DPFI wagon. Wiring was not complicated.

    I thought the DOHC ZC into an RTAWD wagon was plug and play except for the distributor since the cam sensor is on the cam on the DOHC engine and in the distributor on the SOHC engine. Is this correct?

    More details please about your wiring changes.

    Monotech sells the adapter for the distributor. I ordered one yesterday
