Green Distributor Wire/Plug on '82SC
Hey Guys,
I was down to the very last electrical connection before putting the engine back in my car. I pulled the distributor, plugged the green wire into the side, and as I am reinserting the distributor, I hear the sickening "crunch" of brittle 19 year old plastic. I munged the plug. I am sick enough of this project at this point that I almost ignored this problem, but sanity ultimately prevailed. I can't find any reference to this part or its number in any of my manuals. Is this plug/wire available from Porsche or aftermarket either one? Does anyone have a part number for me? Finally, what does this wire do for me and is it necessary for proper operation of my car? Thanks! Mark Sides '82 SC Targa |

Mark,
Part # is: 930 602 907 01 You surely do need it. It is the link for the distributor pickup to the CDI. ------------------ '81 SC Coupe (aka: "Blue Bomber") Canada West Region PCA The Blue Bomber's Website [This message has been edited by Doug Zielke (edited 06-30-2001).] |

Thanks, Doug!
Does that part include the connector as well? Thanks, Mark Sides '82 SC Targa |

From the illustration I have, yes it does.

on some looms, this wire is not detachable. if that's the case, it has to be cut and soldered on. use shrink tube to protect it.

If you wanted an alternative to the $30 factory connector and cable, some military surplus (or IBM ... it is used in old System/360 mainframes by the mile) Twinax cable and connectors would work nicely! But it isn't a 5-minute minute 'fix' ... as it takes about 20-30 minutes to assemble one Twinax connector by hand and solder properly!

Thanks for the replies. I'm pretty clear on what I need to do with only one question about splicing new with old:
If this wire is shielded and needs to be cut/soldered, won't there be "leakage" at that point afterwards? The last thing I want is to create an RFI problem. Thanks, Mark Sides '82 SC Targa |
