Guest Anonymous Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 I've been working on a Ford 302 Z upgrade project for some time now and need some advice. 2 Questions? 1: I've taken the old Z wire harness out of my 73 and started to put in a Painless wire harness system. But it's taking more time than I like. Would I make my life easier just to keep the stock harness? 2: If I put in the stock harness does anyone have any notes on wiring up a Ford 302 to a 240Z harness? -Magic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 I'm not using the OEM Z wiring, but only because it's been major gutted, and only the wire that is absolutely needed was added back in. Regardless, if this is a carbed engine, the job should be extremely easy. Basically, a switched 12+ for the ignition, a starter 12+ source for the solenoid is the basics. Then a tach, and other instrumentation wiring can be added. These basic wires can be easily found using a wiring diagram, or if you know what wires were used for these same functions on the OEM engine, then verify their useability for the new application.
