Aieeeeeeeeeeeeee,
I am sooooo confused, apart from the "what disty is in the 1994 MX-3 GS?" I get to massive confusion about the wiring and pin arrangement of the 3 pin connector.
Not sure if this means anything to anyone but my Disty cap inside is marked as Part 411 1 423.
Looking at the 1995 Probe reference (since this appears to be similar to the disty in the 95 probe or the 95 MX-3 and not like the 92-93 MX-3)
Apologize for the formatting but Summarizing the description as
1995 Probe
Pin
1 Color: Black/Pink, Function: Power (Hot in Start or run)
2 Color: Yellow/Green, Function: Tachometer Signal (Ignition ground)
3 Color: Yellow/Blue, Function: Tachometer Output
Compared to instructions from the HEI reference docs at Clubprotege (section 6)

HEI mod ref erence how to
Pin
1 Color: Red, Function: Ignition coil Negative
2 Color: Yellow/Blue , Function: Tachometer signal from ignition coil
3 Color: Blue, Function: Ignition coil Positive
Note: The reference at clubprotege appears to describe the pin layout for both 3 pin and 6 pin connectors in reverse, so i have realigned to fit the same foramt as used above – or am i nuts? eg look at the description of the positioning of the Orange wire on the 6 pin connector. I am not sure how much of this is orientation vs. actual wiring changes. My initial reaction was to take position over wire color. It was only recently that it occurred to me that the above docs may have inverted position or color description.
So where I was with this,based on the wiring I see on my car:
My 1994 MX-3 status and assumptions
Pin
1 Color: Blue, Function: Ignition coil Positive Connect to Coil + and HEI Module PIN B
2 Color: Red, Function: Tachometer signal from ignition coil Insert 1kOhm resistor and connect to wire running to Coil Negative
3 Color: Yellow/Blue, Function: Ignition coil Negative Connect to Coil - and HEI Module PIN C
I have seen other references to changes in pin outs on 95+ distys (which again resemble my 1994 more than the 92-93 depicted) and don't know what to believe now. I don't want to hack in and out of wires over again.
Help, anyone?
