I'm thinking about relocating my battery and the main circuit card to my rear trunk. Why? Because this is a /6 and it's kind of a pain having the oil filter under the circuit card. Also I want to try and make the engine compartment look a whole lot cleaner. I am a very competent wiring guy so extending the harness is no big deal. Just wondering if anybody else has ever done this.

Steve .... the alternator in that car is externally regulated hence the use of the relay board for ease. You can eliminate the relay board by wiring direct to the voltage regulator and the 14 pin main body harness.
Going to an internally regulated alternator is expensive. Requires new alterntor and a new tail cone on the alt/fan housing. Also, the relay for the fuel pump was negated. Power for the fuel pump does come from a relay housing that has the guts "removed" and power is hardwired thru the relay assembly. |
