Beautiful job Dion !
It's all coming together now.
Have fun installing that left side tin.
Reaching down into the engine compartment to start that last bolt in the rear is
especially enjoyable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
You'll be motoring soon

Thank you fellas, your comments on this thread and support goes a long way. I really appreciate the help and encouragement.

I’m now working on some electrical fiddly bits.
This car has the CDI box, the old cast iron distributor and black transformer ( coil ) .
I’m looking for verification and some help.
First off I’m not putting a battery anywhere near this car till I know the layout of wiring is correct. I’ve gone over many threads and the Haynes book for references.
Needless to say there is some conflicting information.
Some of my original harness was modified by a previous mechanic (old D-jet issues) but for the most part seems to be “as” the original .

So here’s the lay of the land:
RELAY PLATE: purple/black wire to pin #1 on transformer.
red/black wire to pin # 15 “A” on transformer.
yellow wire to starter.

CDI BOX ( I have a reproduction PartsKlassic harness)
Terminal A blue wire to pin#15 “A” on transformer
Terminal B red wire to ?
Terminal C black wire to distributor (points tab)

Alternator plug into factory location on relay plate.
All braided grounds connected.
This all seems correct. My QUESTION is where should the red wire of terminal B go to?
Some diagrams show it to switched power at relay plate & some show it going to battery. What is safe and appropriate? Thanks in advance!

Yup, not the best picture, but shows all the terminals.

Assuming you have a 3 pin CD box.

@Root_Werks , yes I have that diagram as well. My confusion is that anther thread showed it needs to be on a switched power supply.
So is it ok that the CDI gets battery juice constantly, will that harm it? The harness I have I guess was made to go to the 911 plate on the rear fender (Kettering set up?)
Yes it is a 3 pin CDI.

If I did run to relay plate for “switched” power. What is a good spot?
The last resort one adjacent to the 12 pin connector?

Thanks guys.

I would think switched, you don't want the CD box to have power all the time. Been a few years so hopefully someone with more recent experience will chime in.

I think what I used to do was use the wire from terminal 15 to the coil for CD box terminal B. Then just ran a new wire from A to 15 coil.

@Root_Werks thank you my instincts are agreeing with you. That’s my concern.
Having battery voltage going to the box constantly just doesn’t seem right. Of course I might be mistaken. Going with your suggestion.
Thank you.

Some continuing work. Mounted the scavenge line from Ben @mb911 . Had to make a change to the soft line though. My original one had a 26mm end on it and a 30Mmm was needed to mate with the hard line. A quick trip to a local hydraulic facility and they were able to make a new line with proper fittings for me.

Installed the half-shafts that Chris at Tangerine Racing was making. Nice new Lobro CV
Fresh Schnorr washers and correct torque values.

Then came the factory heat exchangers. Man if you aren’t lined up perfectly they don’t cooperate. Tolerances was exacting. Once on the studs they moved freely. Challenge was keeping the damn gaskets on. Should have dabbed some grease on them as I learned later on from a friend. All the cables were hooked up and aligned proper. Need to do heater hoses. More to come.

Lookin' good Dion
Don't forget a support bracket for that hard line around the front of the engine.
The bracket extends up from the tube and attaches to the front tin.
Your picture shows the hole in the tin that the bracket attaches to.

Thanks Rory! Great eye for details! I’ll have to look for the correct one. I have a zip-tie contraption there currently taking the static weight. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
