914-4 color engine wiring diagram Options

Hello

I created this color 914-4 D-jet engine wiring diagram about 15 years ago. Thought it might help somebody out.

I had sent the source files to Andy before the web site drama started so he could post it on the club site but things got wierd.

The original source files are Quark Express and Adobe Illustrator. Created on Macintosh Platform. If there are any budding Graphics Arts folks who would like to continue this work and give it to the 914world site I would be happy to send the source files.

thanks John

I am glad everyone finds it useful. Just double check the critical stuff. The info was compiled from several sources and actually checking cars that were available to me. That does not mean there are not errors. I did try to keep them to a minimum. Course back then I used to party quite a bit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

Anyhow, let me try to explain the file formats so everybody can understand the complexity of changing/modifying it.

This was done in the late 80's early 90's on a high end Macintosh Workstation. The graphics are vector drawings saved in EPS format and placed in Quark Express layout program. The text is done on the layout program. I no longer have a Macintosh or have access to current versions of this software. I am now a Windows IT geek.

I believe you could open the file on Windows equivalent software but the fonts do not convert well and there will be substantial work to reformat all the text nicely.

I had to call in a favor from a old Graphics friend to open the file on a new Apple workstation with a current version of Quark Express and export to a JPG. We also exported to a PDF but the resolution seemed low.

So if someone lives in the Mac world with the correct software, or lives in the Windows world with Quark and Adobe and is willing to spend the time converting the drawing and then donating the files back to the 914 world community PM me and we can talk.

I dont want anybody trying to make money off it. Its for the good the folks here trying to keep their cars running well!

The only other alternative would be use the JPG as a background and redraw in Visio or CAD or something that is more universal and exports better.

thanks John
