The dash harness begins at the coil area and goes rearward to the large hole in the front of the driver’s
side foot box.
The key to routing the dash harness is to start on the inside of the foot box and push the smaller items
through the large hole from the inside.
The connections for the coil, starter relay, and the connectors for the rest of the harness easily fit through
this hole and the big rubber grommet on the harness press fits into the laser cut hole.
Remove 4” of the tape covering the harness wires on the outside of the dash harness grommet.
Pull enough of the harness through the grommet so that the coil can still mount on the outside of the ¾”
tubing next to the master cylinder. By doing this, the amount of visible wiring in the engine bay is
reduced.
Run the harness over the pedal box and through the large hole in the front of the footbox.
The dash harness can then be run on top of the 2”x 2” square tube over to the computer side. Run
everything loosely so that final positioning can be done.
Starter Solenoid
There are two different starters that were used and the wires are run differently for each.

On older (large) starters, the cable runs from the starter to the empty post on the solenoid.

On the newer starters the heavy starter wire connects to the same terminal as the body and the
smaller 8-10 gauge wire runs to the empty terminal. The newer starters can be recognized by
their smaller size and solenoid mounted on top.
