I have a '86 Bayliner Trophy withn a volvo aq131a.
The timing belt went a couple weeks ago. have replaced the belt according to the manual.While it was in bits I thought I may as well change the distributor cap,rotor arm & points.
Everything is installed correctly but it wouldn't fire.There was no spark coming from the coil. Changed the coil for a new 1.Still no spark.
I have a silver coloured box with red,black,white & green wires coming from it. the green 1 goes to the coil,black goes to earth,the white wire joins the red ignition switch wire,the red 1 appears to go into the wiring loom.
I cant find any mention of it in the manual.
Ha sany1 got an idea of what the box is & can that cause my lack of spark from the coil?
Thanks

Still don't know what the box is but the engines running now so it doesn't matter.
Thanks for the help.
