I have a 1970 914/6. When I pulled the motor out, the 14 pin Main Harness that sits on the Relay Board in the engine compartment came apart. Thus I have no idea which wire goes where. I have 6 wires. (2 are grey and black and go to the transmission back-up switch/sender. 1 Green and brown and 1 Green and black go to the oil pressure and oil level senders. 1 Black and red goes to the coil and I'm not sure about the black and blue/purple.) I have attached a picture of the harness below.
I would enjoy any guidance on where to plug these wires. Car won't start and it keeps blowing fuses which I assume is either a problem with these wires or the ignition system/distributor needs an overhaul. Attached thumbnail(s)

Wire colors are totally different. Stock engine? |

Good spotting,no wire tracer colours,me thinks some time will be needed with a multimeter,expect the harness has been remade @ some stage ?, The other metal box plugged in to the relay board is a signal convertor for the tach right ? so as mentioned why the tach convertor. |
