Wiring Harness Rehab

Well, it’s been trying to rain all day, and finally started back in on it. Figured it would be a good day to chase down what’s what on the decrepit engine harness I got stuck with from Klooge. The previous owners ‘Redneck Engineered’ what they wanted/needed to make it run while they had it (“Hacked and Slashed,” more like), as well as changed color of Klooge (from Saxon Yellow to Black – can’t say I blame ’em there) and didn’t bother removing or taping off the harness when they did. Used a voltmeter and a ’79 Tech Service Manual wiring diagram to ‘Ohm Out’ all the wires back to the bulkhead connector and label everything, and here’s what I came up with. Now, I just need to get a few connectors for the specific things these wires work with, then I can properly repair it all so it doesn’t go up in flames when I try to start it.

I started using this pic (provided by one of the gurus from JeepForums.com), but realized I was working with the harness side (male connectors), so my first set of labels were completely backward. LOL!! No wonder the colors weren’t even close. Figured that out, and started over, and came up with the diagram above.
