Reply to "Starter Interlocks & Override - Do NOT understand"

I've not got very far into the wiring (not my forte'), but rumor says that the front loom at least may have come from a Jag saloon, as there's about 10 feet of extra wire with extra connectors, folded up in a tape loom under the cross-brace that supports the hood hinges, all of which reduces voltage to the radiator fans. The amount of air moved by DC motor driven fans is logarithmic so a 4vDC drop reduces the fan speed by about 25%.

I know of a CA engineer that got disgusted with the stock wiring so he ripped it all out of a running '74 to substitute aerospace connectors and better quality insulation. 10 yrs later the car was sold as non-running,'needing only some rewiring completed....'. This is a massive job. Good luck.
