Rotor ray, welcome to the forum. This particular section of the forum is reserved for rotary specific questions. There is a specific section on the forum entitled other than rotary. You will find the answers you need there.

www.grannysspeedshop.com and the 'other conversions' forum. Granny's is a little confusing to navigate, but they'll have the diagram. Also check torquecentral.

Well, if you do a piston conversion, your user name is worthless, isn't it?

That's kind of like walking into a room and saying something like:

"Hey, your sister is pretty freaking hot! Mind if I rip her intestines out?"

Blasphemy????

I am still trying to understand why no one has criticised me for putting a rotary engine in that GLC. Surely that was just as evil as putting the Ford V8 in my RX-7. I have owned more cars than most people on this forum, starting with the 47 Caddy I had in 1958, including a lot of sports cars. I have to say the rotary GLC and the Ford powered RX-7 have been the among the most fun cars I have owned.

As for the forum name, I have two RX-7s, one with a rotary and one with the Ford. I am pretty sure there are several other who also have both. That does not make me any less of a rotary enthusiast, but I learn new things from every project I do.

For a good reference on the Ford wiring, look at post number 3 on this thread:
