I deleted my alternator (wire, tin, bolts, nuts, brackets, etc) and saved 18 pounds!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
Now I want to delete the relay board. But I need to know how to wire the starter in. I know I'll need some sort of voltage regulator or relay in the starter circuit. What have the others of you done? Thanks, Paul |

Eliminating the relay board is common with the V8 conversion. I'm assuming your carbed... You don't need to relay anything for the start circut at the rear of the car (other then the starter relay on the starter), you just run the start lead from the harness that goes into the relay board straight to the starter.
You only really need a couple more wires that go into the relay board on the front. You need the tach wire, and the ignition hot wire. You probably don't care about the reverse light wires. Then again, if you are truely going for weight savings, remove that harness all the way to the dash and just run new wires for the few things you need for a race car... sm |
