I have built an engine stand for my 1973 2.0 engine. I'm in the process of trying to wire everything up to start the motor. Can anyone help me out with the what wires I need to supply power to the control module?





This photo show a small group of wires that plugs onto the module and then to (I think various locations on the engine). Looks like a pair goes to the back-up switch on the transmission, but I'm not sure about the rest of them.

Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks

I am unsure whihc year 2.0 you have and which harnesses your trying to reconnect but at the bottom of this link you will see link to all the harnesses and all the style's with diagram of which wire leads to which componet from the "module"? by module I am assuming you mean the relay board?

by the jump wire on your ignition harness I am going to gues you have a '74 2.0 or 75-76

There you go 73-76 ignition harness! click the pic 2 times to see it better..

I'm unable to get that link to work. Think maybe the site is gone??? But thanks for the input

Thanks detoxcowboy for the drawing. That takes care of the engine side of things. Now all I need to know is which pins on the relay board need power so I can start the engine up.

Thanks, I got the link to work. Now I only need a diagram of the 14 pin connector on the relay board. I sent Jeff an email for the information. Hopefully he has laid that one out. His work look outstanding. I'm definitively, going to use his service when it comes time for the car to go back together.

Thanks again

Or you could just look at the factory wiring diagrams over on the Pelican Parts site ............

Thanks Jim, that's exactly what I was looking for. Now I can finish the wiring for the engine stand.

I have made a diagram of the pins I think need to be connected in order to start the engine. Does this look correct?

Thanks to all who responded on this thread. The engine is completely wired and running on the bench. Engine seems to run strong even after having sat for almost 10 years. Starts right up, idles good, good throttle response.

Again thanks to everyone.
