I have turned my attention to the wiring nightmare that awaits me. I have to marry up 1967 Dodge Charger hidden headlights, a 1970 440 BB V8, 1966 Ford Thunderbird tail lights and 1967 Dodge Coronet engine harness and remaining lights. to a 2001 Audi dash and ECU. I know.
So, what I think I know so far is that the speedo works off of a pulse from the trans. The A727 trans doesn't do that, but, they make an adapter that does so that's done. The harnesses for the doors are good, seats are good, so what I need help with is the rest.
So here's the questions I have at the moment;
Splicing cut wires, okay to lap join ends and solder with heat shrink to protect? Or what
Do ALL of the wires operate via a pulse signal to the ECU? If not, which do?
If all are pulse type, can the sending units be fitted to the 440?
There are some things that I clearly will have no need to hook up. What must I do with these wires in order to not have code issues/ECU faults?
The motor is carbureted so there are no sensors, no throttle body no MAF etc.
Will the ECU work without connecting every last thing it thinks it should be getting readings from?
That will do for starters and I'm sure many more will crop up as I go. TIA. Ghost.

 

hey there. Did you miss the part where I'm building a 1967 Dodge Coronet muscle car resto mod? It's all part of the build and is fun and interesting for me. I have new cars. One is a Ford Escape Titanium. This a project and it will get done. Thanks for your reply. Randy

Holy cr@p! I gave up on my 1996 A4 Quattro after it fried its power window circuit. I do have the 1996-2001 Bentley manual with full wiring diagrams, if you need any of that info.
