Horn
First item to be connected is the horn. It should be installed underneath the battery tray, under any of its three fixating bolts. Use the brake fluid line, as fitted against the body, as a guide for the wire to the horn.
>49     Horn

Earth connection to the gearbox
>312     Earth
Be sure to install this terminal under the same bolt in the gearbox top lid as the standard earth strip which connects to the battery.

Connection to the voltage regulator
The voltage regulator is bolted on the left hand side of the firewall. In case your donor car was equipped with a plastic mounting bracket, you can install that one. Otherwise, you should bolt the regulator directly to the firewall.

>50     Starter- or ignition switch. This connection can either be in the form of a quarter inch “Faston” connector or a ring connector on the side of the starter motor, depending on manufacturer.
As a rule, the wiring harness is equipped with a quarter inch “Faston” connector. If a ring connector is required instead, you will have to modify the wiring harness accordingly.

Ignition coil
The wiring harness has three connectors for the ignition coil:
>1       from contact points
>15      +12V from the ignition switch
>123    +12V from the 123 electronic ignition
Either >15 or >123 is used, depending on ignition type used.

In case of Conventional ignition system (contact points):

>1     to be connected to the “-“ on the ignition coil
>15   to be connected to the “+” on the ignition coil
The >123 connector is not used and should be properly insulated.

In case of a 123 ignition:

>1     to be connected to the “-“ on the ignition coil
>123   to be connected to the “+” on the ignition coil
The >15 connector is not used and should be properly insulated.
Alternator
>30     6 mm ring connector
>4       quarter inch “Faston” to EXC terminal.
