OK, so I was fiddling with the car again and discovered something. If I put the key in the ignition, the side marker lights and tail lights all come on. Also, the front right corner light works too when I do this. I think I screwed up something trying to remove the interior dome light and door switch and I'm not sure how to fix it. It has to do with the key ignition switch since thats obviously whats completing the circuit I guess.

As far as I know, yes. The only thing I don't have plugged in is the power socket (lighter).

I tested different bulbs in the right front corner light, and now it isn't working at all :| Also, while doing that testing, the side marker lights all turned on as they should. BUT, after 30 seconds, they went off and I can't get the back on!

Can't get the horns to work either. I was testing out the wiring with the stock horns and stock wheel that I know work, and nothing. Also, correction on the wiper operation... It doesn't like the "high" setting. Works just fine on the first setting, but on high it just slows down or stops.

Alright, I just tested out the wiring I have in there now... Its all plugged in minus the horn, rad fan, and tachometer. Things that worked perfectly: Blower motor (felt air the cab, woot!) Washer motor Wipers (the switch I bought from danny works perfect!) Starter Headlights Roll connector/turn signal stalk did its job. Things that didn't work very well: Front right blinker didn't blink well, probably the bulb but not sure. Rear tail lights didn't go on when the headlights went on. Side blinkers (all 4, 2 on the hood 2 on the trunk) never did anything. Rear license plate light didn't do anything. Fuel pump was damn loud (probably due to no fuel?) Serious problems: That stupid "red light" switch light thingy on the left of the steering wheel was on ALL THE TIME even if the key was out of the ignition! It got REAL hot and the "switch" didn't seem to do anything... Anyway, pretty good test I thought, but I have some serious wiring issues with the lights. I have no clue how to figure it out either... When I get my radiator here soon from USPS, I can get that installed then test the motor with fuel and coolant in it

I've been trying to get some assistance with this in the Historical section to no avail, so I'll try here... I have a Bosch internal voltage regulator alternator I'm putting in my FF-1. I cut the wires for the voltage regulator which ended up leaving two wires, one black/white and one white red. But I'm not sure which ones go where into the plug on the Bosch alternator which has a yellow and green wire: Does anyone know which I should plug into which?

So basically, connect one wire to a switched source, the other wire to the thermo switch plug?

OK, I have most of the wiring "in" the car and quite a few bits connected up. But I still don't have the items that I added like the MSD and tach wired up. According to everything I've figured out so far, the "blue" wire from the ignition is the "switched source" for power. Now my question for the MSD is, how do I connect to it? I mean, what kind of connection should I use in terms of wiring technique? I've never done anything quite like this so I want to be certain. Heck, I'm not sure any of the connections I made will hold up... The tachometer, does the power come from the same switched source? And the light bulb I presume goes to something like the headlight wiring? As for the radiator fan, the wiring already has a spot going to the thermoswitch, do I have to completely re-wire it to go to the fan? I'm having trouble figuring out this one.

OK, here is a photo of the tachometer and its wiring. The red wire is to the light bulb, and the ground goes straight to the housing. So the question is, which is the power and which is the signal? Also, here is the wiring on the NEW alternator. Note only two wires at the connector, and I can't tell which does which: I also have an EA81 A/C fan that I will probably use after I clean it up a bit. It has two wires, a black and a blue. Is the blue the power?

I ended up using the original fuse box cause of the fact it has some sort of cross-over internally built thingy that makes the one plug go into 3. I don't know how to do that with another fuse box, so I'm gonna use the factory one for now.

This diagram appears to be close in the most departments. Its the only one with the 5 connections to the ignition (2 going straight to the key lock) and the only one with the warnign buzzer. But other things like the radio/cig lighter connections are different. I need a wiring diagram from a car with the internal regulator. What I did for now was cut out the voltage regulator and ran the red/white and black/white wire to some connectors that can connect to the alternator. I just don't know which goes to which, which one goes to the yellow and which to the green. I'm not even sure if its the correct thing to do. I also got rid of that white wire that connects to the regulator from the white wire that goes to the screw in part on the alternator. I think it had a light. I had it disassembled at one point, but I was stupid and didn't take photos... I'll take it apart tomorrow and take a look. Is the signal wire the one that goes to the MSD? And the power source, what should it be getting power from?

I need help figuring this out...

If you are getting a dual range transmission, you might as well get an EA81 or EA82 motor while you are at it.

Got the shifter back from the machine shop and installed today. Works good, but in the photos thats in FIRST gear... So I probably need a new lever made or this one modified so its in a proper position: Also got the front hood emblem installed:

I have a couple spots to mount it to on the engine no problem. Not sure about the body though, gonna have to look around. Thanks for the help, headed out to get wires now.

Eh, I'll have to try to figure that one out later... Anyway, I need to know right now how the negative battery cable mounts. IE where its supposed to bolt up to so I can pick a length.

Is there a thread about wiring up a radiator fan?

Question: I don't have a positive or negative wire yet. What should I do for that?

Awesome, glad to hear it

There was a cut-off point of 25 entries. A couple folks just missed it

That sounds like it might be it. If thats the case, I think I might want to keep it.

Better off just trying to swap the whole motor. Don't you have to do the bi-annual smog with that car too?

BTW, I was looking through the diagrams and realized the Fuse box has one wire that goes in and goes to 3 other locations INSIDE the fuse box. Is there a way to replicate this with my new fuse box? No, the seatbelts don't have any sort of wiring either. Sadly, thats the largest size of that image that I have. I got it from that japanese brochure website.

I think you can update your posts now too, add more info and more photos if you entered!
