my surf v8

[Reece2.4]

fuel pump relay black wire to fuel pump live
fuel pump earth to chassis
ignition 12v wire to black/yellow wire under dash
constant 12v wire to white wire under dash
crank wire to black/silver dot wire
ect wire to ect switch green/brown wire
overdrive wire to green/yellow wire in blue plug
reverse lights (blue wire?) to yellow wire in white plug
tacho wire to black/white wire on remaining surf plug
oil pressure switch wire to yellow wire on alternator
yellow alternator wire to yellow/blue plug wire
black/yellow alternator wire to red plug wire
white/blue alternator wire to white plug wire

I had to partially strip the loom to get the burned earth wire out and gave the relay boxes their own earth and are fine

ok think Ive sorted the wiring stuff as it now cranks over

question on the fuel lines, which side of the engine is fuel feed and return as there what looks like a fuel regulator on each side

does the ecu and ignitors casing need grounding? ie bolted to body

Passenger side = fuel in.
Driver's side = fuel return.
There's a fuel pressure regulator on the driver's side, thats a pressure dampener on the passenger side.

ECU doesn't need to be grounded, but the igniters definitely do.

Ive ended up just cutting the oil filter bracket in half with a plan of just tapping a thread into the channels and fitting a fitting

however I dont have a tap that big or even a bolt for reference (or a ruler), only that this an-8 fitting is too big. would a an-6 fitting fit in? and then finding a male an-6 to female an-8 fitting too.... hah what a faff on

Have you seen these??

I'd just save a load of time and messing about and get one of those! Had they been as easily accessible as they are now when I did mine, its what I would have used!

Excellent find

[Reece2.4]

great find wish I found that weeks ago, wouldve saved me buying 2 different oil filter adapters and neither of them working but I guess I can use them for other projects

major things left to do I think is radiator, radiator hoses, power steering hoses, make an exhaust and then its drivable

[Reece2.4]

did a few bits today

4wd stick now selects 4lo after cutting a bit out the transmission tunnel
mounted the original surf rad and made a bottom rad hose
remounted the slam panel
wired up a horn

need to make some spacers for the front arb as it hits the prop

also spent a ridiculous amount of $ on silicone pipe, for maf and top rad pipe

We need more pics man!why did you have to move/modify the handbrake

[Reece2.4]

had to move the handbrake further towards the firewall and the only way to do that is to mount it on the inside

its all because the back of the head would rest against it as it sticks out about 2 inch, now it sticks out about half an inch and theres half an inch gap

Yeh, more pics, Reece

I should really walk the 30 meters and come and see

[Reece2.4]

Great progress, thanks for the update.

Just outside, having a fire. Sure I've just heard a V8 fire up. Was it you, Reece?

[Paul ssrg]

Any pics of the handbrake mod?
