installing my new motor
Ok i got my engine rebuilt and was working on getting all the wiring hooked up. Ran accross a couple of problems. First the dizzi neded to be swaped then the oil pan. The motor is going in a 85 gs it came out of a 80 model. Is there any other problems i might run accrosss? And any 1 got good pics of the wiring because my friend has swaped 12A's before and he said he would help me with the wiring but of course he has been busy since i got my motor back. Any help would be great.
You wont have a place to put the Oil pressure line, and the carb and Rats nest is different, Just use the carb off your 85 and the dizzy from the 85.
I dont know of any reason that you would have needed to swap the pan.

yea i swaped alot of stuff the motor is more less an 85 but the builder forgot to put the 85 dizzy i swaped it. also not running ac either not sure if i want to swap the pan right now. might wait till i get it up and running and swap it when i do the first oil chage at 50 miles or so.

you can make new oil cooler lines for a lot less by going to rinky dinks or the parker store and getting hyd hoses made that are good to 3000psi should be under 100 bucks for everything this is what i did on my car call me i will help you out
