Carb conversion wiring question.

[bloodontheapex]

So, as I've stated before, I would like to adapt my L24E to Su carbs.  Instead of cutting and tucking my wiring, I'd like to run a Z harness.  I think it'll make for a more clean look in the bay.  A 260z harness has become available for free + shipping, quite the deal.

 

Question:  It seems that my engine harness originates from a wiring junction under a black plastic over on the passenger side fender.  Is this the case for the 260z?  Would the 260z harness provide a ready-made carb harness for my car?

Is there anything electric on the SU carbs?????

No, of course not.  As I said in the first post, instead of cutting and tucking the EFI harness, I'd like to run a harness that never had the EFI section.  What's wrong with that?

What is wrong it that you said "carb harness" -- but there is no carb harness.

 

Did you mean "engine harness"?

Okay, okay.  I didn't know this would boil down to syntax.  An engine harness for a car originally equipped with carbs.  :thumbup:

Time to break out some wiring diagrams....

 

It's not going to be plug/n/play.

[I'm BLUE]

(1) Install your su's and su choke cables (especially for winter)

(2) Install an e12-80 EI "matchbox" distributor. (If not already installed)

 

You're making this much harder on yourself than it really has to be :)

 

What year is your 810 ?

 

[ggzilla]

Good point. The Matchbox doesn't need a different harness, it only uses 2 wires.

 

After you get it done, then consider how (or if) you want to "clean up" the wiring.

Only the much later '83-  Maxima got the E12-93 matchbox. The 810 should be fine.
