[T3] Wire Question

[Daniel K. Du Vall]

That might be as the Bentley shows two wires that come off the start that match the colors but on have a number (50) and the (+) on them and they terminate shortly after the starter picture. Also looks like the original bend on the bundle would have routed it around over to the drivers site where it might have gone over to the mount where that diagnostic connector used to be. I sure hate it when people butcher wiring harnesses.  My 74 bug was the same way so much so I ended up just pulling it all and am going to start over. Good thing it's a race car now as I will not have much to redo :-)

Sounds like it could be the remains of the diagnostic socket wiring.  There were wires to tell the diagnostic device various info on the engine.  The remote starter turned the engine over while monitoring the battery voltage changes to give a cylinder compression readout. They also reported on battery voltages at rest and charging, and dwell angle and points condition, too, and other parameters. There was also a front axle alignment readout, measured optically with a mirror and light beams as the steering was turned.
It wasn't used for very long, and of course now is superceded by sophisticated sensors that register every hiccup.

I have a say 10 gauge wire read an white strip on the passenger side engine compartment bundled with a solid red of a smaller gauge. Looking in the Bentley I see nothing that might give a hint at what it was connected to at one time. The other Red and whit I have accounted for. Seems odd that there would be wires coming in on this side of this gauge.

Anyone have a clue?
