ITS BACK BABY! I'm out of state at the moment but the guy finished up today and it looks really shmicko. I still have a full suspension rebuild waiting for me when I get back (which I will be documenting) but I've got a bike and xh which will be taking priority.
-
they've been the same since 1970 to 1993 (and i assume XK 1960 wouldn't be much different) i remember the XG part, i bought a "repairable write off " with damage there and the panel shop that could also do VIV certs pulled on it with whatever they usually use ?(10 ton?) and it didn't move without relief cuts and beating (aka cost me $500 more than the quote) good to hear it's going to be back on the road again. -
Today marks a great occasion, I got a letter from the government that didn't have a fines and penalties header. Crazy it's been 6 months since it was registered! I'm expecting it back in 2 weeks and then I can quit driving the effy around car parks. Ford must have known this was weak as the xg I harvested the bracket off had alot of reinforcement compared to the xf

color of the main loom wires. follow the wires to the plug, the wires on the other side of the plug. Dale

Will most likely be the colours in the engine bay. Starter is red/blu, Tacho is white/grn etc.. -
It would be interesting to see how one would go with a 4 barrel Holley sniper 2 setup on it, surely it'd be able to pass emissions testing and give better performance to the factory efi. It'd be easier to wire up as well I reckon. Would look old school as well.
-
Hi there Just come across your post, im in the same boat. Colours dont match up. Did you manage to figure out which wire is what? Im about to start tracing them back. Need to wire in rear battery and standalome harness for barra. -
I'd imagine given the breathing capabilities of the late model head, that a 600 cfm or bigger carb would be the go on an Aussiespeed manifold. I have pondered how a a side draught carb or two, would go on a factory manifold, if it'd behave like a tunnel ram does. Dizzy side of things would be easy enougth to do, just use the XG dizzy in the AU block, with a CDI module. For my VCT engine I'd just lock the cam and get a bumpy profiled cam fitted. Surey it'd have to make similar power and torque to the factory EFI with poorer cruise economy, but have a whole lot less wiring and headaches to figure out. Just alcohol fueled ponderings....

It' would be interesting to see how a SOHC would go with a decent 4 barrel and electronic dizzy. Just pondering ideas with all the bits that I have laying around. It would be something a bit different to the usual stuff.
-
In Vic at least, for it to pass an engineers certificate.. it would need to meet the pollution specs of whatever's newer.. so in the XB with AU engine, it needs to have all the EFI stuff on it.
if you were cheeky enough, you could fit a CFI manifold to it, and say the XG motor is CFI spec and they may not know and you may be able to stick a carby under it depending on what you need to do rego wise?(blue slip? chat to the blue slip mob if friendly) i don't know about simpler? from what i understand, the EA to EL wagon fuel tank fits in XB and has the EFI pump etc in it (fuel gauge will need mods, they read backwards from memory ) if you can find a pre smartlock ecu and all the wiring from EA and EB series 1 it would be pretty easy from what i've heard (even smart lock ecu with smart lock bypass isn't that hard, and even the AU ECU can be sent off somewhere and have the smart shield removed for $250 plus post each way from memory, so you could use the full VCT set up) a lot of these "bench racing" discussions have been done in the past, but Street Machine Carnage did an AU XR6 with Barra ECU on it for turbo install, so that's also another option possibly .
