One night last week when I couldn't go back to sleep, I began thinking about the fuel pressure gauge. I had initially installed it on the fuel line at the rear of the throttle bodies. That was before I installed the fuel pressure regulator and the filter on the firewall. It came to me that it would be better to have the gauge installed there as it would be easier to read and would not be subject to engine vibration. So, today, I moved it and then made a new line to connect the throttle bodies.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i188.photobucket.com-22140-1539116582.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i188.photobucket.com-22140-1539116582.2.jpg) I spent the rest of the day finishing up the wiring on the left side. On the COP's, each one is individually grounded to the motor. I used one of the valve cover studs for that ground. The black/white wire and the red wire go to all of the COP's. I had to tap into the main red and black/white line at each unit. I also ran the wiring for the crank fire and the head temp sensor.

Between taking the dog to the groomer and picking her up, I got the right side done as well as beginning to run everything to the center. It is very time consuming figuring out what part of the wiring to apply the shrink tubing to, soldering the wire connections, installing the next pieces of shrink tubing, and then moving on to the next one.
I like running the wiring along the fuel line to keep everything away from the throttle linkage, but I am concerned about putting too much weight on the line. I think I will find a rod of some type to run between the two sides, attach the rod at each end and then attach the harness to that rod. From the center of that fuel line, I plan on taking all the wires up to a bulkhead connector.

We had more wind today than during the previous hurricane. I had to remove this limb so my wife can get into the driveway. We had quite a bit of rain but everything passed through quickly.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i188.photobucket.com-22140-1539289092.1.jpg) Yesterday I realized that I had to modify the engine tin around the cam sync adapter. Normally the engine tin here fits flush against the back of the block and there is a seal between the tin and the cam carrier. After measuring the diameter of the cam sync adapter, I needed to drill a three inch hole. I didn't have a hole saw that large but my buddy and neighbor did have one. He has every tool known to mankind!! I took the tin to him to show him what I needed to do. He took pity on me and proceeded to drill the hole in his garage. BTW, compared to his garage, my garage is filthy!!! After getting back to my garage, I drilled a hole and installed a grommet for the cam sync adapter harness.

I can't install it until i remove the engine from the engine stand.

Yesterday was spent cleaning up the yard after the latest hurricane and mowing the lawn! We are planning a motorhome trip for a year from now that will see us in Albuquerque for the balloon festival, as well as visiting other western destination points. To that end, I spent yesterday afternoon making reservations for that trip. There are so many RV travelers that, for some places and events, the reservations need to made this far in advance. A lady at a RV park in Moab, Utah said that she only had a few sites available that would accommodate our coach. September is their peak season.
I am at a standstill on the wiring, for a couple days, waiting for some terminals for the TPS sensor. MY 56mm wheel studs arrived yesterday so I installed them. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i188.photobucket.com-22140-1539464260.1.jpg) I had removed the left side exhaust when I was investigating the broken dowel a few weeks ago. My plan was to re-install it today. It then occurred to me that this would be the perfect time to clean the bottom of the motor while it was off. I proceeded to clean the entire bottom of the motor but ran out of time to install the exhaust. But a dirty job has been completed.

I have to toot my son's horn today. His project has been to install a Tesla motor into a 1979 911SC. His maiden voyage was today.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Spent lots of days staring at them in my younger years. Military stuff was done in all white wires. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) And you where lucky if they had numbered them on the one off stuff I was working on. Spent a lot of time with a Ohm meter and a sharpie.
BTW, you can print labels and the seal them with clear shrink wrap. Or get the printable stuff, but that can be $$$ I just print it on paper, or use a fine sharpie to label it or number it, then slip a piece of clear heat shrink over it. Makes it much easier to remember when you get into it at a latter date. Then I will draw up the schematics and number or label the corresponding marks so I know what is what. I guess we ordered so much wire it was easier to just stock a single color. I see now I can get it in any color I want, that would have given me back months of time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Im sure I would have found some other way to waste it with my youth. |

Today was spent inserting the wires into the seal for the bulkhead connector. I did one at a time on both the female and male ends. Each wire was documented on my terminal wiring sheet. For reference sake, I marked the top of each seal so it corresponded with the blown up photo of the terminal numbers. It would be even more difficult to get these wires in the right holes without the blown up photo. It was still a painstaking process trying to make sure each wire was in the same place on both ends.
I did have time to crimp three of the female terminals. The female terminals are used on the male plug while the female plug uses the male terminals. To crimp the Deutsch terminals I had to change the dies on my crimper.

I spent yesterday crimping the Deutsch terminals. I marked the top of the bulkhead connector and the wire seal to make sure I get the wires in the right hole. I inserted the larger wires first in the center of the connector all went well. However, when I tried to insert the other wires, I discovered that the terminals were too big at the crimp end to fit into the holes. After some research, I found that there are three sizes of terminals, 1.0mm. 1.6mm and 2.4mm. I had the 1.6mm terminals which fit into the five holes for larger wires but no 1.0mm terminals. I have them on order and, when they arrive, I get to crimp nearly all of the wires again! These connectors have been an ongoing learning process.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i188.photobucket.com-22140-1540067627.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i188.photobucket.com-22140-1540067627.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i188.photobucket.com-22140-1540067627.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i188.photobucket.com-22140-1540067627.4.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i188.photobucket.com-22140-1540067627.5.jpg) My fuel line with the -6AN fittings arrived yesterday from Chris Foley at Tangerine Racing. Since I am at a standstill on the wiring, I decided to insert the feed and return lines through the tunnel. Chris's instructions say this is a two man job. I removed the shifter as per his instructions so I could access the line in the tunnel. After fighting the first line for an hour by myself, I called my buddy to see if he could help. It still took us a bit to get both lines ran but we were ultimately successful. To get Chris's line to work I had to hog out the hole on the firewall so the -6 AN fitting would pass through. Once both lines were in place, I slit the front grommet and then inserted it over the lines and into the hole. I had to slit the grommets at the rear as well. Now I can run some more fuel lines and re-install the fuel tank. I sent Chris a photograph showing how I was going to run the line on the firewall. He used a protractor on that photo to get the correct angle for the fitting. It turned out perfectly.

Yesterday, with the NASCAR race on in the background in the garage, I worked on installing the high pressure fuel line from Chris's new line to the fuel filter on the firewall.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i188.photobucket.com-22140-1540259394.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i188.photobucket.com-22140-1540259394.2.jpg) This morning I began by installing the return fuel line in the engine bay. The fitting on the end of the original line had 1/4 NPT thread. I could not find an adapter that went directly from NPT to -6 AN. I did find a 1/4 NPT female couple and I used an 1/4 NPT male to -6 AN male adapter. With that adapter in place, I ran the line over to the right and up through an existing hole to the battery area. From looking at photographs of 914-6 engine bays to see the relationship of the throttle bodies to the battery, I made an educated guess on the length.

This afternoon, I moved to the front of the car. I ran a-6 AN line from Chris's fuel line to the output side of the fuel tank. I then ran a short return line from the original fuel line to the access area for the fuel lines on the tank. After installing the tank, I ran a feed line from the fuel tank to the in side of the fuel pump. I had forgotten to order an inline filter for this line. It will be here shortly and I will install it above the fuel pump. To hook up the return line from the original fuel line back to the tank, I had to use an adapter to go from 3/8" fuel line to 1/4" fuel line.

Be careful that rubber hose to the pump doesn't get a restriction in the 180. Modern fuel hose doesn't hold it's shape well and has a tendency to kink in tight radius bends.
If it's 3/8" ID hose, I have a coil spring which will fit over it to help it stay round. |
