inline4 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 I think its time for a bank of toggle switches and a push button starter... Quote Link to comment
Danfinny Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 well I think I know what to do about the starter, it is clicking just not getting any thing else. so i am going to hook up a hard start relay and try it. as far a s the dash lights comming on and the head light not working idk. I got all weekend to figure it out i guess. Quote Link to comment

Can I assume the dash and headlights were working before you made the engine swap? ... and the electrical system is basically stock 510? Quote Link to comment
Danfinny Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 yes....but it a diffrent 510 harness same year just from another car...Good news is the starter works now...seems the relay from the original harness was bad so i replaced it with a new type relay and bam it turns over...still trying to work out the other issues I am afraid to hook anything else up for fear that it might be wrong.

Danfinny Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 well car runs just wont shut off so i am betting i got some wires crossed or hooked up to the altenator wrong. Quote Link to comment
Danfinny Posted August 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 I guess i figured out the wiring problem.. some of the wires on the harness dont match up.. thank you Jose for pointing that out. I guess diff. harness was not from the year told to me. Quote Link to comment
