Update:
Okay guys, I've arranged for a pickup truck and for a hoist so I can put the engine in. I've also made some great headway with the help of a few other Pelicans (Felixcontour, avt007, KR8) in creating a parts list and answering the questions I had earlier. My big concern is getting all of the parts I need, and understanding how to mesh the electronics from the 3.0 with my '76 chassis. Here is a list of parts that I think I will need:
Parts List:
(1) SC Fuel Pump
(2) Fuel line adaptation from Fuel Pump to Accumulator (changes from 2 port - '76 to 3 port - '81)
(3) clutch (will reuse my '76 Sachs, but need new hardware - see below)
(4) Resurface '81 flywheel
(5) new flywheel bolts
(6) new clutch pilot bearing
(7) new crankshaft seal behind flywheel
(8) tools for the clutch/flywheel: flywheel lock, clutch alignment tool, flywheel bolt tool, breaker bar
Do I need any other parts?
With respect to my questions above:
1- I think I'll opt for the SC fuel pump
2- I need to change the lines to/from the fuel accumulator. Someone mentioned that I can just plug the 3rd port. Is this correct? Or can I adapt another line?
3-I want to try and reuse the clutch pack and pressure plate. What parts should I inspect or replace?
4- Thanks to Rob (avt007), I believe I have a template for understanding what the terminals in the big 14-pin connector coming out of the back of the SC motor will be. I do need to figure out how to adapt this to work with the '76 chassis. He listed the plug pin locations as follows for his '80 SC (Looking at the back of the plug, with the wires coming out the bottom, the numbering of the pins is from the top left (#1), then top right (#2), working down to the bottom right hand pin (#14)). Here are the pin numbers, colours, and purpose of the wire, for my ‘80Sc 3.0:
Pin # Colour Purpose
1. yellow starter solenoid
2. no wire connected
3. grn/blk oil temperature sensor
4. grn/red oil pressure sensor (for oil pressure indicator)
5. grn/yel Backup light switch
6. grey Backup light switch
7. no wire connected.
8. no wire connected
9. grn/wht oil pressure switch (for idiot light)
10. red/wht power for WUR, temperature valve, supplementary air valve
11. blu (x2) from” D+” terminals on regulator and generator
12. blk/vio from ignition box, to tach (tach signal)
13. yel/blk heater fan motor power
14. red generator output.
How can I find out what the pins on my corresponding chassis harness connection mean? And how can I adapt this to work?
5- Discussed under 3-8 above.
I could really use some help on this one. Thanks in advance guys.
