I thought I had done and EXCELLENT job of labeling all the electrical leads
when I took out the engine -- at least the leads that actually went
somewhere...
But I need confirmation on the primary leads, which apparently I thought I
would simply remember, but now am not so sure....
First, there is a grounding strap that runs from the body to the bell housing
-- I guess to ground the engine?
Next, it looks like the negative battery lead just bolts to the firewall?
Now the biggie, I assume the positive lead goes to the starter, but so does
the ignition/starter lead and an associated smaller clip-on lead, and I don't
remember which goes where. If you are facing the starter, from the front of
the car, it seems that the battery lead goes on the left terminal, and the
ignition/starter lead on the right terminal. I only say this because the way
the wires are bent, the smaller clip-on lead and ignition/starter lead seem
"happiest" on the right.
Now there's good sound electrical logic, right? I'll bet Lucas would hire me
in a flash...
So, any verification from anyone? Oh, and it's raining again....
