wiring help

[kbusch18]

hey just wondering if at all possible if someone with an 87 inline 6 happens or could take a picture of the wiring around the coil i just bought it, the guy before me says it cranks but doesn't get spark he has a lot of loose wires everywhere random relays i want to start there because all the wires coming out of the coil are melted 4 inches out of the coil if i had a picture of that i could string it up properly thanks a bunch

 

also just wondering if anyone would know what the random plug looking wire would be that is hanging out the bottom has lots of oil on it

got a photo of it?

i beleive i figured out what what it is it screws into the block just above the oil pan and just below the exhaust manifold seems to be a common broken sensor on comanches

 

now my biggest issue is this guy took an attempt at making it an open system and for some reason just ripped out the heater valve and all that tubing ha

 

i love this cause i love the jeep just wish he wasnt so hasty

if you're continuing the "open" swap, you just need to run heater lines from the thermostat to the heater box and back again. no need to keep the vacuum operated switch. :thumbsup:

yea i went to the salvage yard and ripped out the heating valve out of that i notice two of the tubes are cut off i am guessing they go to the radiator?

[Pete M]

which two tubes? metal tubes? you might be speaking of the tubes that branch off to the pressure tank that sat up by the firewall.

nah i am talking about the heater valve i have the funky looking metal valve and on two trucks i looked at, at the salvage yard they were cut at these two spots and both times the radiator was removed
