73' Squareback
Re: 73' Squareback
Worked on getting the wires sorted out a little . Talked to Kyle about helping me get things hooked up . Which is going to help out so much . Thank you Kyle . fixed the passenger side window and reinstalled the interior panels on that side . So felt like I got something done today . Sometimes it just takes that first burst of energy to get going on something (thats what it feals lkie to me) and once I'm over that hump usually get on a good role . Welp it felt good to work on it a little , rather than just thinking about what I should be doing . Anyways here's a couple pics.
Re: 73' Squareback
Worked most of the day on wiring . I labled a little more than half of the wires that are dangling below the dash . The wiring diagram is starting to become clear . The part I'm not really getting is how they hook up to the fuse block . It's not clear to me at this point . Question , should I replace all the female connection pieces ? or would that be over kill . They seem to look ok to me . Any help would be greatly appreciated .

The Square is off to Kyle's today . Thank You Kyle for taking that of my hands . Put a bunch of hours in on it and didnt get very far . Learned a little . Now I have room to work on my bus

I presume this means the "rat's nest" is all sorted out and you are good to go now?

All new fuel lines , clamps , filters , clean tank , timed , dwell set at 50 , valves adjusted , idle adjusted . The car is running well except for a slight slight sputter when your cruzing along . Vacumm leak ? Thanks Dan for the help .
Re: 73' Squareback
Vacuum leak or fuel pressure issue. Get a gauge on it and make sure your pressure is between 28- 30 PSI. The pressure regulator on these is adjustable.framingsilly wrote:All new fuel lines , clamps , filters , clean tank , timed , dwell set at 50 , valves adjusted , idle adjusted .

Wish I'd seen this thread a few months ago- I have harnesses for both the car and the FI stashed away.

Almost there. Had to put a floor in my daughters room tonight, or it would have been in.
