Found my other wiring harness. After I made a custom extension harness from the alternator to the regulator... Oh well, maybe I'll see about fixing the burnt harness, I'll need something for when I start on my first pinto. Not that that's happening anytime soon.
Otherwise I did some more electrical work. Found another regulator and mounted it on the inner fender after somehow fitting in a windshield washer tank where it doesn't really belong. Looks like I'll have to r and r the regulator to screw down the tank... oops. Got most of the ignition wiring hooked up and mounted the coil and the duraspark module. Hooked up the wiring on the distributor too.
Noticed there is a bunch of vacuum lines unhooked. Went thru all my Ford, Chilton, and other online and can't find vacuum diagrams for the 2.8l. Apparently they were put on California cars of that year but not the 49 states or Canada... FML. Oh well, I do have the books and will be reading up on the different emission systems and see if I can figure it out. Looks like there is a thermactor system, and a cat...
