I have Daves' H.L. relays. My car is a 12/71. My wires are loose- their not in a harness. I can't see where to put plugs from the relay directions. As in pic, there is three connectors coming from the relay, but there are only two H.L. connectors. Does the other connector coming from the relay connect to the park- turn signal connector on the passenger side of car? Any help please. Thank you.

Hi all: I searched here for the answer, and I Googled a bit for a source. But no luck so far, other than Ebay, which has connectors that don't look the same as mine. I noticed on my '77 (that I just bought) that the AFM connector does not seem to have any retaining means in the AFM. If I unbolt the AFM, the connector falls out as soon as I move it. I'm concerned the connector will fall out while driving. Is there a source for a replacement connector, aside from getting an entire harness? I can't even tell what is supposed to retain it. But I assume this is not an uncommon issue. Before I shell out $300+ for a harness, I'll explore a home-made solution. B…

So my mechanical fuel pump was pouring fuel into my oil. So out with that. Been wanting to upgrade to electrical for a while. Now to the nitty gritty. I know there is a T shaped female plug by the radio that you must short together to get power at the plugs by the gas tank. The problem is I'm not getting any voltage at that T shaped plug. So I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong or there is a fuse somewhere I need to check. I wish I had a service manual for the wiring diagram. I spent a few hrs going around pretty much with no success. My car is a 71. So the 73 service manuals are the only ones I have access to.

After reading a recent thread here that included so information about the Crane HI-6 installation, I did some more search online. I think a cleaner burn at idle and mid-range might do my ride some good, especially with the SM needles. I might try running it with points. According to the instructions, and other sources, it can be done. I saw on MSA catalog that HI-6 is triggered by points, etc., but they don't recommend it. Crane doesn't recommend it either, see attached, due to points float and wear. However, I read some stuff that recommends the points trigger, as it's cheaper, no issues installing a retrofit trigger or different distributor, easy to switch back…

I can't figure out what these wires go to. They go from dash towards fuse block. They are in the same wire cluster that has the alternator to fuse block wire, horn wire, dome-instrument wire, R L lights wires, etc. The bullet connector wire on the right is blue. The spade connector is red-blue stripe and green wire. Thank you very much.

The wires in pic are coming down from dash towards fuse box. The blue wire with inline fuse ( the wire is a little bigger than the rest), does it go to the heater fan or rear defrost? Also in other pic, I see that a blue-white, a blue-red and a blue wire go to the antenna. I also see that a blue-white wire goes to cig. lighter. I don't see another blue-white wire, there is only one. Any help? Thank you very much.

On my switch there is one wire going to it. It looks like the other wire, as in pic, is broke off. I see switches on ebay that have two wires going to it. Should that other wire be connected to the switch? On the wiring diagram I see two wires going to dimmer. one is red, with white stripe. Other is red with blue stripe. Is that the switch on the wiring diagram? Thank you very much.

These two wires are in the wire bundle that goes to fuse box area. The same bundle that has the big white wire with red stripe- as in pic. I don't see them in any wiring diagram. What could they be for? Thank you.

my 78 280 rear hatch defroster doesn't work - all the horizontal filaments are compromised in one or more locations. there is power at the clips up on the ceiling and the console switch works fine. i drive the car every day and in seattle winters the hatch glass is constantly fogged. i upgraded to a honda blower fan, which will eventually de-fog the rear if i blast the defroster on high, but it's so slow getting the warm air back there that i often reach my destination before i can see adequately out back. my idea was to mount a cheapo 12v defroster fan to the back panel that covers the tail lights, pointing up at the hatch glass and hopefully do a better job of …

Would anyone happen to know the location these bulbs go on the speedo ? One bulb has a red with blue stripe wire and another bulb has a red with blue stripe wire. One bulb has two wires, one is red and the other is red with a white stripe. The other bulb also has two wires, one is yellow with green stripe and one is green with yellow stripe. Thank you.

Hi Everyone, I'm installing dual electric fans in my Z shortly and was wondering where the majority of people put their thermo switches. To my understanding I would want this to be the engine temperature and not the coolant temperature via the radiator bung. Does anyone have any suggestions or input? Thanks! Chris

Hi guys I need some help. No power at turn signal lever its 73z manual when I picked up car it was a bare shell only, all apart, does anyone have a photo you can share of where the wires from the combo switches meet up? I have the signal switch plugged in to the right plug on the main harness of dash which looks like it's a square plug with 6 pins, but there's zero power there. And zero at the lever. There are a couple of single wires unplugged like the key buzzer wire which right now I'm not worried about. I think some of them crossover from headlight combo switch to the tsig side, but colors don't match under column. The other lights all …
