I have a 81 3/.0 six cyl engine and I want to use it in my 74 914.

What all does the stock main engine wiring harness connect to?

What are the basic things I need the harness to connect to?

Alternator
Starter
VR
Coil/Ignition

Since no one else has replied, I'll give it a try.

Use a internally regulated alternator and the wires go right into the stock relay board.

The starter and coil/ignition are the same.
You'll *want* to wire it all nice and tidy through a Pertronix and MSD 6AL box, though... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)

If you are running carbs, you can take "key on" power off the no longer used terminal from the F.I. harness, also on the relay board.

Thanks Trekkor
Well I am still debating on going the 3.2 DME(I have a setup minus the DME) route or PMOs

The biggest problem I have with the harness I have is I dont have one so I was thinking on ways to fab one up or pick up a used one.
I was just wondering what components I would need incorporated in the harness.

You can lose the relay board.....you will need a wiring diagram for the DME set up if you use the FI, I have it one one of my hard drives someplace.

.....if you don't have the stock harness for the six....it's best to find one or buy a "Painless Harness"...I'm using that on Frankenstealth my 2.2/6 powered 356...

If I get another motor someday... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

I would love to have a set of PMO's.

After I got my carbs cleaned up and adjusted, I have been having nothing but a blast with this car.

I see them often on ebay (engine wiring harnesses). There is a 3.0 engine harness on ebay right now that ends in 3 hours...it's at 25 bucks. Here is the url:
