Ignition harness installation

Today was a short day but I was able to get the ignition harness installed.  The harness comes as a bag of pieces and a roll of wire, so I used the old loom as a pattern and away we went.

Feeding the wires through the 'conduit' guide, start at the back and work forward.  The conduit needed the openings enlarged just a tiny bit so a drill bit the diameter of the wire was used to open the 'ports' for each wire.

The wires installed and the distributor cap attached and installed.  I double checked to make sure that the distributor was synched with the correct firing sequence.  Hopefully ;-)



I've decided that I am not going to crack the engine again, at least at this point, but rather hook up the front part of the exhaust system and start the engine then recheck the compression with the engine warm and my fingers crossed!

That's it for today,

Cheers,
Lynn

  1. That looks beautiful. I don't have a channel sheath installed so mine looks a little untidy.

  2. Thanks Drew, the channel sheath only works with 7mm wire, so it won't work with my EDIS setup either.
