Help with 76 wiring.

[HICKL]

Took the big step! Drove the car to work yesterday, got home and yanked the motor. The swap begins. Anyway, My JTR manual doesn't offer much help with the removal of wiring for the fuel injected 76. Can anyone advise me on what all to pull and how? Does the whole computer come out? I haven't looked at it very closely as I pulled the motor at 10:00 last night then went to bed, but there's a pretty big harness that feeds the injection system and I don't want to screw up anything I need. (I am putting in a regular old school carburated 350)

 

Thanks for any help.

From what I know and that is fairly limited, if you are putting in a carbed engine into a car that had FI, you can pull pretty much all the wires. The computer can go too. The only wires that you are going to need are the ones for your headlights, gauges, not much else I think. Should be nce and clean with a carbed engine in there. I am sure someone else will respond that has done this to their car. Good luck,

Yeah, you can pull the WHOLE computer and ALL of the wires that go to it. They're all just for the injectors, sensors, a computer ground, etc...have fun! Also, you need to unwrap the main loom that goes to the headlights, alternator, etc... as per JTR. The only wires you really need to keep from that loom go to the horns, lights, oil press. sensor (if you plan on still using the datsun unit), signals, fuel pump, alternator, tach, and the four big ol' (white/red) wires that go from hot on the starter to fusable links then through the firewall. There's also gonna be a LOT of junk left over in the engine compartment to get rid of (more than for a 240 swap), but as stated above you don't need it! If you have an internally regulated alternator you can even get rid of the voltage regulator. Hope this helps and I didn't leave anything important out.
