Off the main engine harness I 3 down the side of the engine and 2 to the alternator.Only thing is that the sensor for my oil guage is dead on this engine.OH well.I'll live.

on mine i paid a lot of attention to how stuff was routed it make it look a lot cleaner. also you may want to pay attention to how everything "looks".

when you open the hood what grabs your eye first? is it what you wanted? little things make a big difference.

The biggest thing that catches the eye I'd say is the sidedraft carb setup.I think I might have cleaned it up as much as I possibly can. :smirk:

Do you have it running yet. That what I am getting ready to do to my 84 GS. I put a GSL rear and a new trany and was getting ready to pull the 13B out of my 91 put it in with my dellorto. Im going to run RB header no cats and a dtm style muffler. I already have a MSD 6A and 2 blaster coils and RB wires and pulleys. :bigthumg:

Hey Racer X. I love the Carbed look too. It is pretty cool. Racing beat, AtkinsRotary, Mazdatrix make intake kits to add weber or dellortos to 6 port engines. RacingBeat also has a kit to put holley carbs on 13b's even the 13bt engine.

Mazdaracing.com has kits for sale and you can call them to get an Idea of what it will take to get it all going.
