NewZed Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Cut all of the wires out and just add new wires as you discover things that don't work anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randy 77zt Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) Get a wiring diagram for the car and study it. Edited November 13, 2013 by randy 77zt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZGhost623 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) Anything attached to the ignition module can go, same with the computer on the drivers side. EFI harness can go You will need to modify your distributor if your keeping it which I dont recommend doing; goto a crank fired ignition otherwise http://datsunzgarage.com/weber/ The fusible links can get pulled out and replaced with a maxfuse setup. He doesnt sell the kit anymore, but you can easily find it now. http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fusiblelinks/index.html You will need to swap your alternator out to one that has a voltage regulator in it. Thats about it... roughly... Edited November 18, 2013 by AZGhost623 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randallwayne221 Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 Thanks AZGhost623, Great answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 No offense to AZ intended, but that answer isn't that great. You don't need to mess with the ignition system. The ignition module is not part of the EFI system, although the EFI system does use it for injection timing. And there's no reason to mess with the fusible links - same reason, it's not part of the EFI harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its what I did when I pulled mine out. Anything thats attached to the EFI harness and computer can be torn out. everything else stays is basically the jist of it just like you say.
