When pressed, your horn button will earth a relay, which will then provide power to the horn, which is constantly earthed via the mounting bracket.

oh that sounds right! thanks alot! i would have taken ages of phaffing around to figure that out!

also started on wiring the computer in today, got a little bit of it done. wired up the main relay, and the fuel pump relay, and also the resistor pack for the injectors, and the signal from the computer to the dizzy... but there are two wires coming from the dizzy that go to the standard computer, and my megasquirt only has one wire for it... and i the motor still has spark so im not too sure what the wire to the computer will be for.. but i'll figure it out hopefully! also racked a 3.8 commy air temp sensor too! so hopefully one more full day on the computer and it would be running... if all goes well!

and i will take a bunch of photo's.. i just keep forgetting the camera haha!

right so an update, i have pretty much finished the computer wiring, apart from i dont have a 3 wire oxygen sensor.. but i dont need that for normal running.. just for tuning im pretty sure. but i am still waiting on my intercooler plumbing and radiator so i can connect those two up and see if it runs! hopefully it does! and if it does run, i will be just tidying up a few little parts of the body then taking down to get painted! yus!

here's some wiring photo's, but its hard to take good photo's of wires..

did a bit more work this weekend, mainly on mounting the intercooler and radiator but i need to get some radiator mount thingys for it! but also got my manifolds ready to put back on. inlet manifold now has a 72mm bore throttle body and air temperature sensor in it for the computer, turbo is also ready to go on! i will probably get onto putting the manifolds back on tomorrow! here are some pics!

intercooler is now fully rubber mounted. now i just have to mount the radiator and whack the manifolds back on and hopefully it'll go!
