My reverse lights weren't coming on. I traced it back to my ignition harness, which was totally hacked up. The yellow ignition wire was butt-spliced AROUND the relay board. The reverse light wires were run as completely separate wires. The pinout of the 12-pin connector on the aft side of the relay board was completely wrong. DAPOs strike again! I have no idea how this car even started and ran in this condition, but it did.
So I got a rebuilt relay board and a decent ignition harness from Mark Heard. I took the good part of my harness and the good part of his, and combined them. I rung out the harness with my dmm -- all good. I transfer the vreg and relays over to the new board, install, run the new harness. I turn the key to ACC and put the car in reverse. The reverse lights come on for the first time since I owned the car! Yes! But wait...the fuel pump seems to keep running. Before my repair, when I turned the key to ACC and left it, the fuel pump would run for a second or 2 and then stop. So I try to start it, and it's running really rough. It starts to make a wheezing sound after maybe 5 seconds, and I shut it off. I know this isn't a ton of info, but do you guys have any ideas? 73 2.0L FI, crane electronic ignition and coil. Moving in the right direction....I will undo all the sins of the past Thanks Rich Pics of the harness I removed are below (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) |

10 years I never used my ebrake.
I went out to put the new calipers on today and got sidetracked, picked up the cut off wheel and took a piece of my fender off that has been pissing me off due to rust (right above the door handle) So, I had to keep going. Hope to see your baby soon. I should be around...not sure of the Bball schedule next weekend. Rich |

I'm planning on stopping by next sat or sun (whichever is better for you)...the car is working great now and I have no plans to do anything between now and saturday.
I think Scott will come by too. I'll bring the beers. |
