what needs connecting and to what to get the engine running???

ie live, switched live, neg, taco etc

any ideas what any of the wires on the loom are for??
need to start connecting the loom up in my mates mk3 escort that started life as a carb

a wiring diagram would be great if anyone has one and i should be able to work it out from there

 

arghhhhhh

ive got the fucking information for him,, do you lot NEVER speak or something

its piss easy and ill be round yours when i finish up some other business

 

half the reason i posted is coz i knew u was on and would read it!

im at work all weekend.

pass the info on if u can mate.
ive gotta get my nova sorted before i do pauls car.

but seeing as im an electrician and wired my nova i guess i should do it for him

just need to know what wires do what, i should be able to find them on his escort.

if not that will be the next post

 

btw i stripped the loom down and found there aint many wires to connect really.

just donno whats what tbh

 

the green one is for the clocks,,, he will NEED the cabrios rev counter as hes on coil pack

the other colours ive got the info but its secret info

 

the escort loom he will need to keep the thermostat switch.oil presure, temp sender wire but he should keep ALL the loom intact and then use the ofab loom as a sub loom

he also needs to do the pin swops like we did before too !

 

why will he need to do a pin swop?
he is using an ofab loom, with an ofab ecu, with an ofab engine.

the oil temp, pressure etc will just go straight onto the frst engine from his existing loom im guess.

he is convinced he needs to go back to the fuse board.
i've tried telling him he just needs to connect in the ofab loom but dunno if he got it.

pop round of email me the info and we'll get him up and running hopefully.

he was out there today looking for cables the same colour on his car as he has on the loom, but couldnt find any.

 

i know i dont have to go to the fuse board but iwas hoping some wires would match but no such luck, could i use s1 clocks? need to try and get it wired up 2mo and running to have any chance of taking central day, got to make other bracket up for brake caliper, more brackets on exhaust, fit rad (need one first) fit cooler and fans, change fuel tank and loom and run hoses and got feeling il have to change rear bushes as they'r perished

 

has anyone got this info please as im running out of time for central day and need car running and m.o.t'd asap? if nobody has info, how much should i be looking to pay and auto electrician to do it? cheers

oh and you HAVE to use efi rev counter as you have got a wasted spark ignition system

sorry i aint spoke to you today but i had a hangover from hell this morning and you calling me every 20 mins when i was trying to sleep it off made me a right grumpy fucker and i never got over it till 6ish

but tbh paul you aint gonna get it running and mot'ed ect for central day as you got alot of trial and error stuff comming up and theres gonna be a few things you aint thought of that still needs doing

 

its poss, i have to mount tank back up, fit rad, cooler and plumb hoses and as for wiring il sort you out if u fancy wiring it?
