 76 wiring harness has a "rev limiter", Why? Will the car run without it? |

I'm preparing a 76 2ltr for installation. The smogged has been stripped off and placed in a box for safe keeping.
The wiring harness has a "rev limiter' device that pulgs in on it (75 and 76 cars). The name implies what it does...I think. Why would you want to limit engine revs, unless you are renting a U-Haul truck. Do I need it to run...can I alter it or leave it off? Attached image(s)

You don't want to know... really..... Group: Members Posts: 2,515 Joined: 12-September 04 From: Newport Beach, California Member No.: 2,743 |
That makes sense
It is not a rev limiter.... It's a speed driven relay to cut off fuel if you exceed X mph... The dizzy may still have the bosch rotor that does have the REV limiter built in.. Most fellas (I think) have tossed them... And gone in favor of thr regular NON REV LIMITER rotor. That's interesrting news for me..... So it seems you caqn by pass the relay.. And remove it. And swap rotors... if you haven't already done so... (or PO) Then you can go as fast as the car will let you..... I'm sure the Crusty one will show up and tell ya exactly whats up later today. I love the technical side of this place.... very kewl.... Clayton |
