Where does this plug and/or wire go?

I have spent over 50 hours trying to figure this out. I cant seem to get thre right combination to get my car running!


It is a 1980 RX7 GS. It has an '83 12a, all the emmisions removed, and the ignition coil wires have been hacked a little bit. PLEASE HELP! Which wire or plug goes where! Pictures are nice.


There is a bunch of plugs and wires i need help with. I will do a new post for each plug or wire.

This is located next to the clutch master cylinder. There is 2 of these relays. Which of the 4 plugs take a relay?

This is concerning which plug my distributior and condensor wire plugs in to. I have 4 choices for what plug the distributor goes in. Where does the distributor plug go? Where does the condensor wire go?

It is located right below the drivers side strut tower along the frame rail. The wires are green with a orange stripe and black with a red stripe.

It is located next to the clutch cylinder. It has long wires and it has a black platic wrap around it (not tape and wire loom). It is the first section coming off the loom before the firewall.

It has 3 prongs and the wires colors are... blue, blue with red stripe, orange with black stripe.

#10... the biggest problem...

Where do my freaking wires go?!?!?!

I have 3 wires and i dont know what ones goes where. I have 2, black with a white stripe wires and 1, yellow with a green stripe wire. Where do they go and where is my 4th wire?!?



Leading is on the left and trailing on the right. Negitives are in the center and positives are facing the outsides.

'dude - if it wasn't -20 here right now I'd dig out my 80 SA and have a look for you man!
sorry!
Assume you do NOT have an 80 wiring diagram? Someone here has a site with those I thought.

I can offer THIS bit of advice. If the wire colors match on both connectors (ie green on one side connects with green on the other) - that should be a pretty good indication these are meant to connect...
forgive if I state the obvious

I know they connect to the other color wire. But half of the colors are not there. There is nothing they should plug into.

I have read all the wiring diagrams on foxed.ca. They helped alot. But not enough.



PLEASE HELP ME!

What I normally do is look through all the connectors in the wiring diagram. There are only a couple that are duplicated. In general, the combination of plug shape and wire colours make each connector unique.

Look for the position of the connectors in the diagrams. Then look up the connector code and read the wire colors off it. It will tell you m/f side colors and whatnot.

Wel since my harness has been hacked it is hard to see what wires go where. There should be 4 wires for the coils... i have 3.
