dewire the engine bay...
#1
i want t completely dewire the entire engine bay and car if possible. i dont care about the stock gauge cluster working cause its comeing out. the only thing i need is the brkae and headlights.
i'll be putting oil pressure, engine temp, and a tach seperetly.
how would i start this project? what wires do i need? the wires in this engine bay are pretty chopped up as it is. i just want to finish what someone else started

so i started this today by cutting all the wires that didnt go to anything anyway. wich turned out to be a pile of wires.
I wanna know if i can remove the smaller wire that goes from the positive battery cable to the little fuses on the driver side strut tower. what are they for?
What about the clip to the back of the alternator? and the single wire from the alternator? they both lead to the main harness. would i need both?

Try www.mazspeed.com, then under the left hand list try "Facts".
There's a link to wiring diagrams in there, so you can trace all the wires by colour and harness.

what year is your 7? I did what you are doing and I screwed up like 4 times and had to rewire the engine bay each time I screwed up. There is a couple of questions I have to ask before I say anything. Is this going to to be push button start? is there going to be a special ignition system? electric fan? do you want your lights to work(interior)? is there going to be a stereo, or is this a full on race car?

its a 1980. with a 83-85 12a in it.
yes a push button start.
stock ignition system.
stock radiator fan.
i want the lights to work yes.
no stereo.
basically, just the rear lights and headlights. so i could ocasionally drive it on the street.
no need for any dash items, or anything inside to work.

you think you could post of pic of your engine bay?
my engine bay wiring was pretty well hacked up before it came to me. maybe some pics of how you did it would help me out here. thanks for the tips so far. but wiring is my weakness.
what are the bridge blocks used for? why would i need them?
and for the one black w/ white stripe wire for the ignition and alternator, do i use the pos+ from the coil and the small clip in the back of the alternator spliced together?
do any other wires at all need to be ran to the coils besides the pos+ and neg- from the distriubtor?
thanks man...
