**73 Scamp Mini Pro-Street Engine Swap**

Ok the wiring Fiasco has started. I got the Fuel Pump all wired in. Fixed the Tach wiring. Fired the car up and set the fuel pressure to 5.5lbs. That BAD stink of old gas is gone. It is still a lil rich at Idle but I believe when I get to tuning it and bump up the initial timing that rich idle condition will go away.

I took apart all the light sockets and cleaned them then replaced all the bad bulbs. All blinkers, brake lights etc are all woking and very bright now. I will be painting the inside of the reflector area of the light assembly's that Aluminum color to get the rear tail lights back to the bright RED when the lights come on.

I ran into a few problems. Some of the dash lights don't work. I pulled the fuse block down and there are 2 of the Big wires missing on the back of the block and I can not see or FEEL them anywhere..... When inspecting the Dash to see why the wipers don't work I found out a few things...... If you turn on the wiper switch you can hear the motor running. It even has 3 speeds and you can hear them all......When I pulled the fuse block down the frickinnnnn wiper linkage was sitting right on top of the fuse block disconnected from the Drivers wiper and the Motor itself, just flopping under the dash....... If you grab the wiper blades you can move them around so Obviously they are disconnected under the dash.......... Man I have never seen such butchering in my life on stupid **** done to a car.:wack:

The trunk dome light wires were all there but bunched up and not hooked up. So I fixed that and then seen the connector for the Interior Dome light was not hooked up either. Check power with my wiggy they were getting 12V. Replaced the bulbs and BAMMMMM, they both work now.

I hate to say it but I will be taking the instrument cluster out of the car and the glove box to find and fix the 2 BIG circut wires on the back of the fuse block, the dash lights that don't work, the wipers and the blower motor. I am thinking the 2 wires were for the AC and the blower motor. This is an AC Car but the parts have been removed.

The car will NOT be moving until I fix all these issues. :banghead:
