Dont get me wrong, the engine loom comes with instructions. Remembering how the EFI is plumbed was the tricky bit.
The engine bay loom is pretty simple. As the EFI loom was already used with the engine, I thought it would be straight forward to make it fit.
Yesterday and today was spent figuring out how to get the two plumbed in and neat. Ended up ordering some new conduit and of course some wrong bits I'll never use.Hard to plan till you start looming things up. Figuring out what was used where and how it was run, took time.
Then I spoke to Andy again to give him some measurements and also asked about some of the wires. One needs to be a switched live to the alternator as he said some alternators are open live when the engine is off and can drain the battery over time, and there is also the issue of fire. As one poor chap found out when he saw smoke coming from his garage even though he hadn't driven it for a few days. So getting my head round what needs to come from where to feed one of 2 terminals amongst other things.
I have no idea which one is which.
The rest is all becoming clearer. Need time out to have a think and unplug, excuse the pun. ;)
