putting my project together, and I have no idea where half the **** wiring goes. most importantly, the distrubutor?



also, looks like some of it was hacked up a bit from the last owner. I can't even figure out where the battery is supposed to hook up.




also, I have a S4 6-port motor in here, and the stock manifold hits the idler arm


anyone know if a regular old header for a S4 motor will work? I'm worried that it could get in the way of some of the other steering components

 

yea there is a bunch of hacking having been done there. for the battery there is supposed to be a tray just behind the headlights on the drivers side. It looks as though your main harness is still intact but I don't see the engine harness. I can get you pictures of a stock setup when i get back to the house in about a week or if you bounce over to the iwankle.com site they have links posted to things like wiring diagrams and FSMs and parts manuals for the old school cars

 

Here's a couple of pictures of my engine compartment the day I bought it. Completely stock engine bay accept it had an electronic distributor installed. Power steering and auto transmission (5 speed now) with working AC.

 

yeah the battery tray was super corroded and removed. its getting installed in the back, but I just need to figure out where the power wire connects to on the harness. hahah.

engine harness is there, but I only have maybe 5 plugs connected - for both the sensors on the oil pan, the oil press sender and water temp sender, and then one thats plugged into the distributor that is probably wrong.

I know one of them is for the alternator, but not being used since I have an FC alternator on it - just the power wire being used.

I just found a little extension harness the other day that looks like it may go to the distributor... we'll see.

and from 74rx4's pics I'm thinking a lot of the open plugs on the engine harness are probably for emissions. thanks!

I'll check out the iwankel.com site. if there are good diagrams I may just re-wire everything I need and dispose of the rest.

thanks guys!

 

does that single green wire go to the AC compressor?

also, are there any plugs for the power steering?

 

+1. color codes are basically the same for all old school so find any old school FSM in fact, go back to the main board for old school section. There is a link for all old school FSM under sticky

 

go to racing bat and get their disassabled header kit it will be easyest soulution to the header fitment problem cuz you can have the pipes go were you want them to you just have to wield it together or pay an exahust shop to thats the best i can tell you on that.ohh and the kit is like 150 bucks and come with every thing you need.

 

awesome. wish I had seen that a week ago when I ordered a bunch of other crap from them. hahaha.
