Yesterday, with some help from my 2 boys, I got my '76 2.0 short block on the engine run stand. I need help setting it up. It's late 2.0, complete, all stock, EFI. I'm looking for any info, any help at all. I've read few dozen threads about engine stands, but most of them deal with yokes, adapters and such. I need help with wiring and actually test running the engine. If local guys can stop by this long weekend and land me a hand, you'd really do me a solid and I'll return the favor. I'll serve beer of your choice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

The decimals should be the thickness of the conductor, not the whole wire with insulation.
The whole numbers may be at the ends of the wire only, and should denote the connections at a certain component. Usually there are numbers cast into the part which will match up with those numbers on the diagram. ... Oh, on the early diagram they are generally inside the outline of the component, that helps. Example of the 70-73 type of diagram: http://www.pelicanparts.com/914/parts/Elec...lectric_73A.jpg On those diagrams, there is another type of number. That is used when a wire goes somewhere and ends; there will be a number there. The wire continues on the other page of the diagram, and you need to look for that same number to see where on the diagram the wire continues. On the left side of that diagram above, you can see a red wire with an "11" next to it. That wire continues on the other page of the diagram here: http://www.pelicanparts.com/914/parts/Elec...lectric_73C.jpg (Yeah, it's a bit lost in the other wires in the area, but the 11 is there.) Oh, and of course there are the numbers in circles on the early diagram which are the labels telling you what the part is. You look that number up on the key. For instance, #60 is the fuse block. --DD |
