I started rewiring my car over the last couple days. Here are the latest pictures I can't figure out
The car is a 1973 1.7 with rear defrost and it had a radio. Not sure about a console or not. Good ol' winters. I try to get it to a toasty 10C in the garage but that hardly happens with the small heater. The tach seamed straight forward and I used this diagram (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/forums.pelicanparts.com-12151-1299788185.1.jpg) Here is what isn't on the diagram Also I have 2 different seat belt safety lights. What do I use? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/lp1.pinkbike.org-12151-1299788185.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/lp1.pinkbike.org-12151-1299788185.3.jpg) Where do these go? On passenger side (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/lp1.pinkbike.org-12151-1299788185.4.jpg) I don't think this is factory correct but I am gussing the up down is for the headlights? And that the other one unmarked could be a rear defrost? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/lp1.pinkbike.org-12151-1299788186.5.jpg) I know of the underseat relay but what about the wires to the left and right of it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/lp1.pinkbike.org-12151-1299788186.6.jpg) Thanks for your help!

Certainly both the toggles are add ons. I've never seen any factory toggles - certainly not on a 73. The lighter is the only thing between the switch and air control on my cars.
That big loose bundle at the firewall is different from anything I've seen in my car - I have no idea what they are. I'm wondering if the PO might have had some sort of intrumentation package going and those wires connected to the control unit. Which way do they run? Back to the engine bay? In that back area you will get the seatbelt connected wires, handbrake wire, backpad light, power and ground for the rear window. That's about it. Does your car have the ignition interlock relay? I thought they began in 74. My early 73 doesn't have it - haven't looked for it on the mid 73. 73 was an odd year for the 73 - changes were sort of phased in as they worked through the model year. I have a parts car that is still very intact electrically. The interior is out of it so you can easily see most of the wiring. If you are ever down this way you are welcome to look and compare. She is tarped up for the winter but if you need help I can take a warm day and go out and check things for you. There a guy in Brockville that goes under the name Freezing914. He has done some amazing rusteration work. He is not very active on the board just now but you might want to make contact with him. |
