Hello all fellow muscle heads,
I have undertaken a daunting project on a '67 coupe. I was invited to rebuild this Mustang. When I first visited the project the engine and transmission were out of the car and completely disassembled. I have worked on cars for many years in both a personal and professional capacity. The last time I completely rebuilt a '67 coupe, I was 19 years old. I have completely rebuilt the engine to the following specs..... new forged crank, 10:1 pistons, comp cam, double valve springs, valves updated to 351 valve sizes, trick flow 1:6 ratio roller rockers, Edelbrock performer intake, Edelbrock 650 carb, high torque starter, headers, MSD blaster ignition system, electric fuel pump, etc.
Anyway the wiring is incomplete. I have most of it fixed but not completely confident in my fixes. I tried to roll the motor over on Saturday, with a remote starter, it would turn and nothing was touching i.e.- valves etc. My remote starter was getting hot and not allowing me multiple revolutions of the engine (I could only get 1-2 revolutions before the wires were just smoking hot, literally). I will use jumper cables, across the solenoid, next time I am there. I am not sure I have all the wiring correct. I am looking to wire the electric fuel pump to the ignition. Anyone have a picture showing which wire is the "run" wire for constant power?
Any advice on this is much appreciated. I have tried the ignition switch just to turn the engine and have no response.
Many thanks fellow gear heads,
Jim
