August 9, 20222 yr comment_643630 Looks (and sounds) great! That smushed breather hose coming off the cam cover doesn't fit with the cleanliness of the rest of the build though... Maybe it's temporary? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/58568-duffys-171-series-1-240z-build/?&page=65#findComment-643630 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the stock style hoses. Adds some style to the hoses.

August 11, 20222 yr Author comment_643741 Well I am a liar. My wiring was wrong. Iac wasn’t even working. But it lets by 20% air or so with 0 volts. So this is cold start with 20% air going by. On my haltech You can set voltage at a percentage of 0-12v. So roughly set the lowest voltage it can go to 33%. Should work, but to be determined. I need to run a new DPO wire Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/58568-duffys-171-series-1-240z-build/?&page=65#findComment-643741 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 15, 20222 yr Author comment_643957 I’m trying to track down a short in my 12v positive from my tach to my coil. I seem to have two black and white wires and a green a white in my coil bundle. Any ideas? The 2nd b/w and green/white doesn’t show up on any wiring diagrams. I have a 1/71 build.

August 15, 20222 yr comment_643960 Both black/white and the green white wires show up in wiring diagrams. See attached for the highlighted path. One black/white goes from the ignition switch to the ballast resistor. The green/white lands on the other side of the ballast resistor and goes to the tachometer. The other black/white comes out of the tachometer and goes to the coil positive. If you think you have a short in the circuit, unplug the 4 wire connector from the back of the tachometer and lift one of the wires off the ballast resistor. You have isolated the wires from one another and can measure resistance to ground at each.

August 15, 20222 yr Author comment_643961 Steve you rock! The coil positive has a full short in it. Haven’t found it yet. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/58568-duffys-171-series-1-240z-build/?&page=65#findComment-643961 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 15, 20222 yr comment_643962 Now that you have isolated the wire, disconnect the connectors between the dash harness and engine harness that have a black/white wire and re-test. If you have taken the dash out of the car during the build, I would wonder if maybe pinched a wire or the wire harness in the dash harness. Also look for previous owner modifications like a relay for a thermostat-controlled fan.

August 15, 20222 yr Author comment_643965 So the green and white should be a ground? Then the other black and white should be another keyed 12v? Do either share any wire? I honestly only need a single 12v for my ITB iac. That’s isn’t shorted. So I could abandon the shorted one.
