HarrisonTX Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Of course I have the JTR book. I believe the "electrical" section to be wrote for 240's, so it might differ a little from my 260z? I have a 260z, with a production date of 3/74. Right now I'm tackling the wiring, and could use a little help. I only need to find the wiring for my HEI, starter, starter solenoid, alternator, and the A/C compressor. The book says a "White" wire goes for the starter. I believe this is true for my 260Z. I have located a heavy gauge WHITE wire. For the solenoid, I have a black-yellow wire that goes to a 4 connection plug. Is this the correct black-yellow wire? I have located a WHITE-RED wire. It goes to a 2 wire plug. The other wire, is the heavy gauge WHITE wire that I mentioned above. Correct wire for a one-wire alternator? I need to find the wire for my BAT terminal on an HEI. The book says it's a BLACK-WHITE wire with a protective sleeve. I do not have a BLACK-WHITE wire with a protective sleeve. I have 3 BLACK-WHITE wires that all go to a 5 connection plug, and 1 other BLACK-WHITE wire that goes to nothing. There is just a crimp on terminal on that single wire. I'm using all aftermarket gauges, so I'm not worried about the gauge wires. I just need the wires mentioned above. I will also wire in a fuel pump on my own. The motor is out of the car, the harness is unwrapped completely. I'm using a first generation small block with HEI. I know this is a tall order, but all the wiring diagrams I've found online contradict each other, and I'm at a stopping point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emeraldlion Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) Hey harrison, you should download the FSM and find your wiring diagram. Google 260z wiring diagram and see if you can download one. I had to do this because the '78 is unique to the year. I have since spent hours with it blown up on my 46" television going through my engine harness to modify it for the v8 swap I'm doing. I don't remember which one specifically on the 280 harness that I singled out for the HEI connection you are referring to though. When I get home I will try to remember to check it and post.

emeraldlion Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 So my wire is a black wire with white stripe. It is the positive feed that pairs with the ingition relay and switch in the body harness. It should have led to the positive terminal of your coil on your 260z. Hope that helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
