    Quick wiring job

    Bob the brickies rod, just a quick wire up to get the engine running, left the loom in a mess as he's tidying up, just needed the technical bit done

    I have done 3 Holden EFI 304s into Kingswoods. One day I will got off my backside and get cracking on the 4th one. Pretty straightforward stuff if you have a wiring diagram and patience.

    mainly the rover stuff but a couple of holdens one ford and a handfull of repowers into trucks.

    is it a drop in kit with everything pre loomed or are you making the efi side of the loom from scratch?

    Mainly Ive done drop in stuff or swapped whole assemblies into different vehicles and have always had the advantage of having the wiring diagram and schematics on hand to nut it out with. Once youve got that its a case of time and patients as you lay the loom. An audible continuity tester with a long lead and a set of test clips/pins is likely to be your best friend in the early stages if its a multi segment loom

    Always make them from scratch, seem to end up with a much better interface loom that way as opposed to someone elses rubbish

    Yea, holdes are pretty basic, which is nice, the LS engine series is even easier than the delco stuff

    Couldn't tell you how many and what I've done now, think the next one is a BA XR6 turbo engine in a 240Z

    Im a really big fan of the short throw looms...

    the different parts of the harness come premade and strapped for the engine and have about a 12 inch fly lead on them down the back with a multi plug on it. The kit contains the other side of all the relevent multi plugs and all the pinning you need to set it up.

    Drop engine in, clip the short throw looms to the fire wall, place the ECU and gauges where you want them and then wire the plugs to suit. Engine outs become as simple as disconect 2 multi plugs, disconnect the main starter lead and then unbolt the donk.

    Yea, but the looms I make are betterer

    Because I can mount the relays, fuses and everything where I see fit, without either not enough length or large excess, limiting locations
