Running

Just to check the car and engine are still ok after having passed the winter outside not protected from anything, I quickly converted the current Sybele wiring loom to an interim Motec one and was able to start the engine at the first try...
Ok in truth it was the second try as I forgot to plug the fuel pump relay at the first try... need more sleep I guess

Filmed a quick small video with the iphone; nothing interesting but it's good to hear it running again !

I do not plan to keep this converted wiring loom as I'll prefer redoing it from scratch.
Next one will be true Mil-spec with the adequate crimpers, Deutsch Autosport connectors where possible, and Raychem type 44 or better wire and of course DR-25 heatshrink...

Antiques

As the Motec is much more capable of running OE stuff, some of our previous running gear will now be unused.
Say goodbye to those :
Modified OE ignition cassette with a "Bosch" style module... figured out in the meantime out to use the OE ignition module which is a lot smarter on safety features.


Trigger wheel and VR sensor billet bracket, not needed anymore as the Motec can work with the OE GM 6+1 pattern.

A few grams and OE reliability level gained, thanks Motec !
