Swapping motors in my 74 from a 1.8 Ljet to a 2.0 Djet. There is a green wire that comes out of the tin on the passenger's side underneath the battery. It used to plug in to the 1.8 wiring harness, but the 2.0 harness does not have a receptacle on the harness for this wire. Does anyone know what this wire does? Can I just tape it up?
I switched the ECU also from the 2.0. I noticed the djet has a clear plug with some white wires that looks like it plugs in the relay board...the L-Jet didn't have this plug--just a yellow wire...does this sound about right? Much appreciated, |

I believe I've got the oil temp sensor missing. If anyone has pictures they could post of the oil temp sender installed, I sure would appreciate it. Thanks.

Well, if your 74 was like mine when I bought it you only have a cover plate at the bottom of the oil pan. I had to go out any buy a taco plate that has the hole in it (see picture) and sender which screws into the case below the plate. Someone in the club should be able to sell you both. PS Thanks all for the "green wire" mystery. Funny thing is, when I added my temp gauge & center console, I went and ran my own wire...not still to sure why this wire used to plug into my 1.8 engine harness. Anyway...that engine is gone now and the 2.0 is just about ready to go...waiting for the injectors to come back from their cleaning. Attached thumbnail(s)
