Here is a picture of the engine compartment Relay Board of my '73. Will someone post a picture of what this should look like?
I've had the car for a short time and am learning about all the wiring work arounds. Note the car is running carbs. Three things I'll point out in this picture are: 1. The ignition harness coming off the board has a red crimped connector in it. Might need one of Jeff's new harnesses (?). 2. The brown (ground) wire on the left bottom is unconnected. Where should it run to? 3. Bottom right of photo is a blue wire coming from under the dash - will deal with in a later posting. Not in the photo, the ignition key has been bypassed with a push button installed on the dash. Still needs key in and on to start.  |

(the yellow arrow) The 12 pin connector should only have one green wire in it...so I have no idea what the two green wires are or should be connected to in your photo. You would need to open up the connector and trace the wires to see where they go. |

You would need to open up the connector and trace the wires to see where they go. The other one is (was) green/black. It's an early D-Jet engine harness but my cars main harness is from a '74 so i unhooked the solid green wire since it otherwise would go to the bottom relay (heater blower). The green/black wire is also not used on a '74 but i could leave that in the plug since it isn't connected to anything on the other end of the relay board (There's an empty spot in the other connector/harness on later cars) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
