Actually, there doesn't appear to be a doco on the Serp Conversion. I can assist you though mate.
I may have to do one. BenJ

Don't know about Aussie, but a mate just bought a mint example of one of these - in a nice colour, almost looked like a respray the paint was so good - $2,500 NZ with a little over $100,000 of always garaged KM's on it.
I reckon that's not bad! Nice lazy 8.... |

Me Again!!!!!
I have finally finished the LPG Wiring. This is what it looked like when I got the Wagon. 
There were no relays installed to disable the injectors or the fuel pump, and no relays to switch the Oxy sensor or the fuel guage between LPG or petrol. And the worst thing was the Safety Switch had been bypassed. All a bit of a mess really, to put it politely. I was able to get a hold of a good LPG wiring diagram and with a bit of thought and planning, was able to design a system that when switched to LPG would disable the petrol functions, but if LPG is not selected or fails, the car would default to run on petrol. This is the end result. 
This will be installed in the cavity behind the ECU on the passengers side. All wiring intercepts will be made at the ECU or in the cabin area. Only 4 wires will need to go into the engine bay for the LPG to work. I am keen to see if it all works LOL And on another subject, this afternoon after work I got all energetic and pulled the dash out of the Wagon. 
The heater box has now been removed, and will be replaced by an EB11 setup, which will work with the the EL A/C pump and related pipework. The manual pedal box will also go in at this stage. Hopefully the dash will be back in its rightful place tomorrow afternoon. Cheers BenJ

Yep, sure is. In fact there are a couple.
Doesn't matter though as it won't be in there all that long. BenJ

That wiring will be much nicer when it's refit, and a heap neater as well. Just make sure you draw up a diagram before you fit it, incase you have to t/s it somewhere down the track.
The serp belt setup looks good man. It's something i should probably think about doing, so i can correctly setup a 110amp alternator i have, instead of modifying it to fit my old 3 belt setup. But i don't really have the time to do the conversion. Too many other projects that need attention. The pic of the dash out, man, been there & done that many times before! Much fun isn't it? I think i had the dash in & out 3 or 4 times for the manual install, then again twice to fixup my aircon & heater. I had to fit new cores to the setup, both mine were leaking. Then again to fix up some other niggling wiring issues. Nice to see the progress! Cheers ToranaGuy

I really really like the wiring for the LPG Benj, very swish indeed. And the whole serpentine thing --- you know you could buy an AU motor for $350 over here..? What are they worth there? Heheheh, sorry about that. Just seeing a motor out a car means it's being replaced in my world of mechanical genius...
I still have two EF dash' s for sale. Am asking $16.66 for the both of them on TradeMe, and no one has bought them! One is Fairmont, one is Futura (with badges). Even have the Futura BEM and half the console buttons thrown in for free! Along with a partly chopped Futura wiring loom and a partly chopped Fairmont loom. $16.66! And no one wants it? Man, I just can't figure it. |
