I'm using the harness from a '79 1500 spitfire for the convertible Gt6
project. I have everything fairly well marked at the time of disassembly.
In the year that followed, a few of the tags lost their way and I would
appreciate some help on the proper end termination.
Under bonnet
Alternator - I installed a Bosch 65 amp unit which has the same receptacle
as the spit harness. Other than the plastic receptacle, there are two
wires, one (1) white, and one (1) white/blue. I have two remaining
terminals at the alternator - one male spade and one bolt fixing point.
Coil - There are three wires, one (1) white/yellow, and two (2) white/grey.
Which goes on which side of the coil? Additionally, there is one black wire
from the Lucas distributor which (I presume) goes to the (-) side of the
coil. To further complicate matters, I have installed a super blue bosch
coil. I have read just enough about ballast resistors that I am thoroughly
confused. Do I need the ballast resistor? If not, where to the above wires
terminate?
OD connections - From the harness, there are two (2) green wires and one (1)
green/brown wire.
Under Dash
>From the main harness on the drivers side (near the instrument cluster)
there are two (2) green wires which come together with a female spade
terminal - any guesses?
Near the end of the harness on the passenger side, I have two wires; one
purple and one red/white. Each of these has a female bullet style connector
on them. One of the two should terminate at the cigar lighter and the other
is unknown to me.
If I get this sorted out and work non-stop, I may just make that car show on
Saturday morning.
Thanks in advance,
Ed Hamilton
