Problem with wiring - mk4 engine conversion
Any help on this would be massively appreciated.
I recently swapped the engine in my 1990 escort 1.3l (x-flow on carb) to an xr3i mfi engine running on an xr2 twin choke weber.
I'm at the finishing stages but iv hit a hiccup in the wiring, i was told that to do this conversion a full loom swap was not necessary and that a conversion wiring harness was all i needed this consists of 2 plugs going to ignition coil, 1 to dizzy, 1 to carb, and another which is supposed to plug in somewhere down behind the passenger side headlamp near the horn to give power to my coil and dizzy but i cannot find a plug that matches it anywhere in the car! I have some photos on photobucket if anyone has any ideas please let me know thanks very much.

I have had many friends do this very conversion, all you need is the loom form a 1.6cvh on a carb and plug it into yours in lieu of the 1.3 one.
