Did you toss 6cyl engine loom?
Nah I've kept all the VH gear, including loom - it's definitely helped me figure out what things connected where.
Thanks for the tips on the plugs and vac hose! - I went and bought a brand new 6-way plug today so I'll just chop off the old black one and re-crimp the VH stuff into the fresh connector.
You want hotwire engine loom to run or basically wire it up like how it was with 6cyl harness to run?
I was expecting to have to chuck a few relays in the loom somewhere - that's my current challenge - where to whack them.
I bought a VL washer/overflow, to free up the tower for the VS fusebox.. but even that's not a straight bolt in jobby, gotta chop old VH washer brackets which sucks a little.. as well as needing new tabs on the tower for the VL bottle. Not hard, just more time..
I also picked up a VL fusebox, and I think this is a better path to look at, chucking all relays and fuses up on the passenger side right above the main firewall loom plug - I don't wanna get bogged down for too long re-doing the entire loom, especially when most of it bolted straight up (albeit having some extra length before entering the firewall) - I'd love to get this car cruising before crap weather kicks in, and can always tinker with a loom cleanup over winter.
This battery feed wire is annoying me - I looked under the car today and can pop it out of the top of the trans tunnel, but I am cautious about distance to headers as it passes just below the top of the block/head - it looks damn close to heat! I met a bloke who popped his batt bulkhead connector into the passenger wheel-arch and ran the cable along the chassis rail, before flipping under the rail and across to starter... but I'm also hesitant to have it in a wheel arch where road debris could hit/split the lead? arrrrgh...
Bought a brass adaptor to run two oil pressure senders - low and behold, it fouls on alternator so back to the shop for a refund tomorrow - A PITA exactly as you predicted
@gtrboyy lol
Forgot to ask last night, but there's also this pair of wires I need help identifying.. They come out of a hole on the drivers side firewall, but lower down than the instrument loom plug. It's the same hole that the mechanical speedo drive lead comes from.. The sheathing makes me think they're not OEM (sorry, I should probably just jam my head up behind the dash and trace them.. lol)
Lastly, I messaged the bloke who bought the Stato donor and he still had the VS gear selector linkage and was happy to pull it off for me - what a relief!!
