The
wiring photos are not too complete. The
few unique views of wiring that I did manage to take have already been
presented, although I'm repeating them below for
completeness.

WIRING |
I spent many of my working years dealing with automotive wiring although my main interest was the systems side of things and how things worked. As a result, when I began the restoration, I looked for a complete view of the wiring that showed all the components and how they connected along with the wire colors, fuses, etc. Barney
Gaylord's site was an excellent source. He does a good job of
explaining the wire harness routing. He also explains the
specific operation of many parts. Here's the beginning of the
pages he devotes to wire harness routing: |
To help me understand the operation of the car, I created a wiring diagram of the complete car (even though I'd seen links on ebay to a wiring diagram). A link to to the diagram I created is presented below. Since it's just a jpg file, you'll have to detatch it and blow it up to see the details. Remember, too, that I did this for my car meaning it's for a 1500 only and shows it in the original positive ground set-up. If you need a 1600 , twin cam, etc., refer to Barney's site for differences.
Following is a list of the wiring harnesses used in the MGA:
