wiring confusion, 74 carbed 4cyl Options

[echocanyons]

I have installed the new engine in my newest 914.

The engine is carbed and and the engine bay wiring in a real mess with many cut wires and nothing is labeled.

I was wondering if anyone could steer me in the right direction as to what electrical connections I need connected to the motor/trans/starter to get this thing running.

BTW I dont have another running 914 to reference the wires to.

Is there three wires to the starter two on the top post and one spade connector?

Yes

Do the coil/dizzy wires come from the main wiring harness are there three or two?

Yes, from main harness
One is needed to provide power, the other (I think) is either to the computer for the FI, or to the tach...
Look at the tach and follow the colors back to the engine bay.

Is there a spade connector that attaches to the top of the engine block?

Well, to the right (looking from the passenger side of the engine bay) of the distributor is the temp sensor, that is only needed for the FI system, or for a guage if so equipped.

There are two bullet connectors to the side of the trans to the backup switch, I cant seem to locate where these would come from.

No clue where they come from, part of the harness.

Dont forget the ground strap on the tranny.
