Santa,
are you using a standard cossy loom???

and i am not sure if that alternator will be good enough.

on the starter motor the outer plug is for positive from the battery... (left screw plug based on pic )

and the flat male connecter is for the ignition. (top plug based on pic)

(im pretty sure) hope that made sense!

Its good to see some progress again Its worth taking time to get the electrics right, there's nothing worse than chasing electrical gremlins. I'd be going for a decent Bosch alternator somewhere around 75-95amps with an engine management system onboard

I'd be going later than xe/xf...anything with the 2 pin injector type plug on the regulator. I thing EA-EL hd them as well as Magna's,Commodores etc.

I got a loom from Premier wiring in the uk using standard ford colours so should turn out close to original.

Small up date brakes done just need to plumb the hydraulic clutch


After talking to the tuner he is not happy with my rad or intercooler so time for some more money to be spent[}:)] if you have any suggestions what to use let me know.
