Reply to "Longchamp wiring diagram"

Hi Mikael,

Welcome and I hope you will enjoy your Longchamp soon.

Me being from Holland I have tried to locate as many as possible DT cars over the past few years here. Which was that Longchamp that you were looking at?

The wiring scan is a good help but only an indication. My Deauville has an extra 4 fuses in the fusebox which are not on the diagram. And as for the colours of thee wires, so far I had about 50% match the diagram!
It does keep me focused and I am really getting to know my Deauville!

The Holley was indeed an option from the factory. Most of the DT that were imported into Holland ( about 38 deauvilles, 15 longchamp and 15 Panteras) were retrofitted by the importer usually before delivery to the customer or within the first few months.

I know the mechanic well who delivered and serviced them all from 1973 up to 1993 and he told me that they ran better with Holleys and that the only reason for retrofitting was money!
Instead of the factory the importer was cashing in on the Holley option.
Who can blaim them?
