John- Does the wiring harness go inside the U-shaped rail? |
It seems to me that the harness is too thick to bend over and lay in the
rail , run a foot and then out of the rail again towards the back. Along
the right side or under the rail will work; you eventually run under
the rail and frame when you get to the rear where the rail joins the
round part of the frame. It's kind of obvious when you do it, although I
usually trash several zip ties as I make minor changes.
| Where does the coil attach? |
been talking about that the round clamp for the coil bolts to. Coil
faces forward, and ends up about 1/2" or so in front of your airbox if
you're using it. If I remember correctly, you'll want to aim the + side
of the coil towards the distributor. I run the harness on top of this
flange, good place for a zip tie. The original wiring harnesses I've
seen are usually fastened to the round part of the frame behind this
with electrical tape.
| Do you have any of those real nice digital photos showing coil location or wiring along the frame? |
document that part. Good idea, next time the tank's off (may be sooner
than I think, I think I have a fuel delivery problem) I'll shoot some.
Which brings up a concept: Does anyone out there have some
cyberspace that I can use to post the teardown/assembly pictures of my
'69 Ambo? It may be of use/interest to someone restoring one. Lots of
good photos of tank layout, chroming tips and pinstriping.
| Does the wiring from the instrument cluster go through holes in the upper triple tree? |
over. Tight fit, I like to clean the harness with STP son of a gun
vinyl dressing or something similar, makes wires slip through harnesses
and harnesses through tight spots easily.
