### EDIT - for the purposes of not filling this forum with multiple posts about the same car, I'm going to continue the recomissioning of this car in this thread. Details begin on page two. ###
Checking in as the new owner of a 1971 914. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-26060-1636387205.1.jpg) Dragged out of the desert yesterday. Basically a shell, a steering rack, one wheel and a title. Appears to be in decent shape. Probably needs a floor (rust penetration), definitely needs a front pan (cut up, no idea why) and some repair to the hellhole (small rust hole, but unsure what lies beneath). Rockers, doors and rear trunk appear to be very nice. There is light crash damage to the front left which has been hammered-out. I can't find bondo on it anywhere. Kind of hesitant to post this as I've always wanted a 914, but unsure if this is the one. Long-time Porsche fan - owned a '72 911T when I was in my mid-20s, and now have a twin-plugged 912 which I restored (from a shell which wasn't a whole lot nicer than this). Anyway, I have a rough idea of what I want to do with it. In the time being, I need to start hunting down some parts. Lots of parts. |

Been on the wiring today. I feel like a total idiot because I appear to have lost the part of the harness that attaches to the relay board and provides power to the stater solenoid, a feed to the oil pressure warning light, etc.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-26060-1756110050.1.jpeg) Apart from that, it all kind of makes sense, although it has been so long since I took the car apart that I'm having some problems remembering what certain wires did. Can anyone help me with these two conundrums? 1. A red wire and a black / red wire, plus a third wire with a connector block on it. They're inside the sheath that carries four thick red feed wires to the battery. The red and black/red had a white circular-ish connector on it. I believe the connect was for the fuel pump. It's fused at the relay board and would be be an excellent power source for my ECU, but I just cannot get 12v out of either of them. There's 12v at the bullet fuse on the relay board. Any ideas greatly appreciated. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-26060-1756110020.1.jpeg) 2. These wires exit the rear of the tunnel. I'm assuming they're seatbelt warning lights and / or engine bay heater blower controls. I can't work out where to look on the wiring diagram. Again, any help greatly appreciated!
