Monster Garage Day2 or 5 depending.., Need Hose and routing pictures Options

[Andyrew]

We're to the point of routing the FI wiring and hoses. We'll cut new hoses once we get them all situated.

Does any one have any good pictures of the engine with the Air filter off that would show where the wires/hoses are suppose to sit?

Thanks progress is being made!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)

The first pic, those wires appear to all be in the "engine wiring harness". That is the one that plugs into the 12-pin connector on the right-rear of the relay board. There should be a somewhat-thick black wire that connects to coil (+) and supplies +12V when the ignition switch is on. There should also be a thinner black/purple wire (the purple fades and can be tough to see) that connects to the coil (-) terminal and is the tach signal wire. The green/red hooks up to the oil light sender just aft of the distributor. And the white one hooks to the AAR (yes, supplemental air valve is another name for it).

The other wires are all alternator-related. The alternator should have four wires coming from it. One harness with red, green, and black wires, and a separate big thick red wire. You've already found that the thick red wire goes to the starter, same terminal that the fat cable from the battery fits on. (That's the primary charging path, alt->starter->batt.) The other three wires connect to the relay board by a plug. Looks like you have the plug on your board but the harness was cut.


[EDIT!] Oh, uh... Nope! On second look, those two wires in the second pic are the two wires to the heater blower motor. That would live in the left-front corner of the engine bay on a metal stand on 73+ cars. 70-72 1.7s had the blower in the middle on a bracket bolted to the engine fan housing.
