I consider the bellcrank another link.
If you take one link from the middle of a chain you have two chains

lol, me any HQ counted up the springs and shockers, brake lines and ABS cables too. Can't forget them!

What about bolts, nuts and washers. Don't forget the bushes too!

Simon

tailshaft, hand brake cable and its sheath, does dirt count?

In other news, i have a vn v6 wiring loom with factory fitted denso connectors

And once i get around to it, integrate the vl400 ignition module loom

Do you have any spare looms to suit the 202? New car new loom? Good excuse to make one from scratch to suit your set up. Easier if you had one as a template.

[Holden202T]

No i left the old loom in the gemini, started again with this one

So your going to run a CAS and coil packs by the look of it.

[Holden202T]

yep same as it was in the gemini, reluctor CAS with 36 - 1 chopper wheel, and 6 LS2 coils, none of that is changing from how it was, as I have finally got it all sorted and working, the last thing needed for that was the larger injectors, its just a matter of creating a new loom to do it all in the new car.

I should clarify, I left the efi loom in the gemini, but removed all the coils and ignition module wiring, then just added the stuff from my brothers VS commodore to the gemini to suit his camira ignition module and LSx coil driver module that he was using - the gemini efi wiring was rather integrated into the car so would have been a big backward step to take it out.

How'd you go finding a good VN loom? I have a VR V8 auto loom here Im doing some work on for a bloke and it's like crispy bacon. I did tell him to go shopping for another one but he wasn't keen. I'm to scared to bend it in places. I wanted to make him a new one but he didn't want to spend the money.

[Holden202T]

yeah I have a few in the stash from when my brother and I have found $200 vn's for parts

there was one connector that was pretty brittle, the DFI plug and the oil pressure sensor plug, but I am not using either of them.... the knock sensor wire was ok surprisingly as is the o2 wire.

[Holden202T]

Bit more done on the wiring, with this one I wanted to have everything in one connector so the engine loom can come out still on the motor, and also in-corporate all the ignition module stuff into the one loom.
A quick tally up of what was needed and it was pretty obvious this plug wasn't going to be large enough.

So I grabbed a parts wiring loom and removed the connector off it that normally goes to the rear of the car for tail lights and such, and re-pinned it to suit what I needed.

I'll probably add a few more like the water temp gauge and oil pressure gauge once I work them all out.

so I got that all connected up and roughly tidied up, on the right you can see the ignition module wiring, I am not sure what I am going to do for the coil wires yet, as I am not sure where the coils are going to be mounted at this stage.
The group of wires with nothing on them above the ignition module wiring is the diag mode wires and the ALDL from the ignition module these will be connected to switches so I can turn the aldl off (it interferes with the ecm comms) and the diag mode being on a switch is really handy for when your out at the track and wanting to check timing and such save mucking around with paper clips!

I also have the other side of the plug with a reasonable amount of wire on it so it should be able to run to most of what is needed without a join.
