carb engine onto injection loom... Help please!

Post by fonzooorooo »

Having rolled mk GTII (!)last Wednesday, I'm well on with re-shelling it into a late scala shell. Proper, complete re-shell... headlining and all! and before I start with trial and error,(or tracing it thrugh in the Haynes spaghetti nightmare) I'm wondering if anyone knows what connectors I need to be putting where... (connector and wire colours)

So far...
I've got lights, heater, interior and boot lights, starter and alternator look right but not checked, (there's an extra 2 black wires into a single spade plug on the loom here... do i connect, or leave off?) the wipers and washers work, presumably horn works(not checked that yet though) ... so it's just the actual connections to the engine itself left as far as I can see.


Also, I've had to splice in a new headlight switch... and the repeater on the dash works the opposite way round to the lights (repeater on when lights are dipped, off when on full beam) ... any ideas which to swap over?

All info greatfully received!
