- Just my random thought on how I would approach this. 1. Disco Battery 2. Your original wiring harness is shot, so cut the wires (making sure you know which side you are on before cutting). 3. Run you

- Assuming that the old harness has no value to you, don't just disconnect it. Cut off each terminal, leaving a strand of wire, and leave it connected. This way, when you are connecting the news harnes

- You can cut the old harness where it passes through the firewall, then pull the new one through (you might want to wrap it with a dry cleaning bag to protect the wires from gunk, if you want to keep

- I decided to cut each connector off the harness, leaving enough to ID each wire. That was an excellent and worthwhile suggestion! Very glad I asked for tips! Thanks to all who suggested that techniqu

- That's going to be a lot of labelling. Most things fall out close by the component they attach to. Probably more important is knowing which colour wire goes on which spade etc. of the component you a

- Check all bullit connectors which are lose and get these soldered. Also verify the black things where the bullits are fitting into. Many of these will show metal fatigue. When you have the chance get

- One other thing. WHen you are connecting the bullets, especially in areas exposed to the elements, use a little dialectric grease to prevent corrosion. Maynard _______________________________________

- Good point, and it reminds me of another one more thing. When assembling the bullet connectors make sure they are fully pushed in. With the fingers they will go in so far and seem to stop, and the ba

- It should do, the bypass circuit really only comes into play under adverse conditions and poor state of tune. If you have the original solenoid with the extra spade you can simply add the wire, or if
