BlindSight

Just for kicks I connected my new ballast resistor (car originally didn't come with one but the new harness from the older model has the wires for it.....and now it runs! Well its getting really hot and boiling in the reservoir but im hoping its just the electric fan is worn out and cutting on and off.

It will start for maybe a second before it dies, have tried pouring some gas in the carb, using starting fluid, no dice.

Got it cranking finally, just can't get it to run but its been sitting a few months so should be able to figure it out. Thanks!

Anyone? it still wont crank, pops the bottom 25A fuse when I try. Looked through three different wiring diagrams and a few dozen fuses trying different things and im about ready to set this thing on fire.

Anyone have a picture of what they did with the extra wires after the conversion? I am using a 78 harness that had a points system in my 79 brat that came with an electronic system and the guy who sold me the harness had cut all of these wires so can't figure out where they all should go.

Well I don't want to convert it back to points and according to this I won't need the ballast resistor if I stick with my electronic distributor. So my question is which wires need to go where to keep e from popping this fuse and getting this car to crank again. I really wish the guy I bought this harness from for $100 hadn't cut all of these crucial wires, probably would have been much easier to figure out. The Extra wires I have look like they should go to a ballast resistor and an E.I.S. which my brat with the electronic ignition system doesn't have. And im off all week so whenever you want me to.

annnnyone?

Trying to figure out whats going on with my Ignition system, have a 79 brat that has a non-point distributor and replacing the harness with one from a 78 I believe and some of the wires aren't matching up and such. its looking like my old harness didn't have a spot for a ballast resistor but the new harness does and also another 3 pronged connector with a square shaped rubber cover that im not sure where it goes or if I need something else to make this harness work with my brat.-

thanks for the question, info will be useful for me right now as well.

Alright so I think I have it figured out...the new harness is from a 78 which had a points distributor which my car does not, the extra black with red stripe and black wire are supposed to go to a ballast resistor which my car doesn't have so im going to order one and see if that fixes the problem. Will it matter that I put this on a car with a non-points system? I did a bunch of research and found that my ignition coil is the ND model so looking at a 1.4 ohm resistor. If anyone sees any issues let me know. Thanks!

Still no look finding anything or anyone who knows where these go or how to fix my problem. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, it has a distributor and the 3 schematics I have all only show a black with red stripe and yellow wire.

So I still can't seem to figure that section out, have everything else ready to go I believe but when I try to start the car the bottom fuse pops. I just hooked up the uncut wires to the Ignition coil , then I tried hooking up the other black wire with a red stripe as well and still the same thing. suggestions?

Not sure if mine has a ballast resistor, is it supposed to?

Ok, so I am pretty sure those other two connectors go to buzzers...that I don't care about but im trying to figure out what to do with the condenser wires. The original harness had one eyelit with a black and a black with white stripe wire and an eyelit with a yellow wire. The new harness has an eyelet with a black with red stripe wire and an eyelit with two yellow wires along with a black with red stripe, black, and black with white stripe wire that were all cut.

Any ideas? Going to start trying to put it together and make it work tomorrow. Guess if all else ill see what ends up not having a connector that fits and hope its nothing important. If it deals with the ac/heater stuff ill just remove the whole blower assembly and be done with it. Going to rat it might as well rat it right?

mine didn't, not sure about the harness I got.

Any ideas on the differences of the connectors? Will try and remember to get the VIN and such tomorrow and share it. THANKS!

Decided to start a new thread for this outside of the classifieds. So I started going through the original harness and comparing it to the ones I have. One of them is relatively close so maybe you wonderful people can help me make it work. Here it goes.... SO here is the biggest difference, original harness on top, new one on bottom. Close-up of the old harness.. New one... Under the hood, old one has two black wires and one yellow to the condenser(think its the condenser), New one has 2 yellow, one black, and 3 other black with various stripes that are clipped.

Going to start pulling my harness completely out today so I can snap some pics and compare them better.

Cant seem to find your number SUBARU3, hit me up if you will be free at all sunday or monday so i can FINNNNNNALLY come get that stuff from you!

yeah will try to get some this weekend

anyone? no one has come through yet.
