(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I am getting rid of the FI and going to a set of Webbers for my 1972 1.7. The harness was a mess before I bought the car but even more of a pain now that I have taken the engine out for repairs and service. My question is What in the rear wire harness can I get rid of and what do I need to keep being I don't have a computer or FI anymore? I am sure this has been discussed in past so please forgive me.

I went through this with my 6 conversion. I prematurely axed the harness and board. While I didn't really need the board for anything it would have been easier to build a male side connector to hook directly into the 14 pin harness from the engine side. My suggestion - Reconnect the 14 pin connector to the hacked line. There should be a separate engine harness for the coil wire/backup lights/etc. that connects into the 12 pin slot. Someone on here had a really nice colored diagram showing all the wires going into the relay board and out. |
