Ok, so my baby has come home. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I am thinking about rewiring the car with a new aftermarker 18 circuit system. The wires I took out I would not put back. I am also going from a 4 to a 6 so I will not be needing the EFI. Please let me know if anyone has done this and if so any tips and pic's would be great.

Right off the bat, there aren't any FI related wires in the main harness, other than maybe the wires for the fuel pump. Secondly, the wiring in a 914 is pretty well organized, non-redundant, and well thought out. The fuses aren't asked to carry anywhere near the load they can, and any shared circuits supply related consumers. Unless the wiring is rat-eaten, burned, scraped through, or hacked by a person of less skill than is required to do the job properly, I've rarely had to replace any of it (and I'm coming up on 35 years of working on 914s on a near daily basis).
