[T3] Wire Question

[Dave Hall]

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It wasn't used for very long, and of course now is superceded by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.

Subject: [T3] Wire Question

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?
