    Found this "antique?" in my grandma's barn!

    Check this thing out, seems like it sends and receives Morse Code signals. Anyone know anything about these? I have a photo of some sort of engraving it has on it. I cant really make out what it says with my naked eye so I'm in the process of enhancing it.

    Wiring Harness, ECU, and Continuity

    I'm in a bit of a bind in finding out why I keep blowing my EFI fuse and have narrowed it down to some sort after going over EVERY mechanical part wired to the harness and EVERY ground point atleast 10+ times. I was wondering if there is an easier way of testing the continuity of each wire...

    Issues with electrics, possisble ECU or Harness Problems

    damn this wire! (HELP!)

    I cant figure out what this wire is for, it seems to come from the bundle of wires below the fuse box. I found another similar wire that appears to go behind the firewall into the car and is red, looks like its for the radio and I didnt mark that one so I assume its negative. I just did a swap...
