I am rewiring my engine bay on my 73 Rx2. Basically removing any and all wires that are obsolete. I'm looking to remove these as well (pictured below). Three of them are labeled. The large one does not say what it is. Does anyone know what it is? As well as the red cylinder mounted to it?

I since my car no longer has a choke or power windows, I have no need those two and they will be removed along with there wires in the harness. The ignition relay will stay, but will be moved to somewhere out of sight. But to remove the large one, I have to first know what it is...???

And the thing that is mounted on the choke relay (furthest right). What is it, ans what is it used for? It kind of looks like a fuse block or a bus bar, but I am unsure...




From left to right: Ignition Relay/Window Relay/???/Choke Relay









I am unsure what this one is as well. It is mounted on the upper part of the fire wall on the passenger side. A few inches from where the harness enters the engine bay. anyone know what this is used for?

 

The black one on the firewall covers is voltage regulator for the oldschool stock alternator.can be removed if using a newer style alternator.

 

I'm swapping to an S5 alternator while I am rewiring, so this can go now too...Thanks!

 

Usually I remove them all except the ignition relay.that one keeps your coils powered up while your starter is cranking the car.the other fuse looking thing is the main fuse to the cars harness.

 

Thanks, I'll just remove them all except the ignition relay. And I'll use an inline fuse moved to under the dash for the main harness fuse...

 

thank you for all the info im also doing the same thing.

 

This IS good info. Thanks guys!
