Engine bay wiring questions...

[Someotherguy]

Hello everyone.. I'm new to old school mopar folks, so please bear with me...

I just got a 73 roadrunner as payment for services rendered, and have a few questions on some parts...

backstory: the car had the original 318 removed and a mid 80's model 318 set in its place....problem is i'm missing a few parts....

can someone identify the name of this part and its function please...

Also, any help you can give me on how to get this 80's engine running in this 73 car would be much appreciated..:icon_biggrin:

The part you are referring to is the "Voltage Regulator".

[Someotherguy]

ok...new post with a normal size pic lol...

engine bay pic....

where do these plugs go..?

this plug is coming from the transmission, dont know here it goes, or if it's even the original trans that supposed to go in the car...

I assume this is the starter relay, can anyone give a diagram or pic of how this is supposed to be wired up to the starter...

3rd - the first pic of connectors is to the ballast resistor you are supposed to have.

next connector to trans I think goes to a connector in the harness on the fire wall.

The starer relay should be mounted to the firewall see diagram for wire details.

Lastly the voltage reg you are referring to you have on the fire wall already it is the newer updated electronic one far left passenger side above heater blower motor.

Good luck

What happened to the old meep?
In your pic is a good shot of the starter relay on the firewall just above the power brake booster
