This is the unit that is bolted to the innder fender (engine compartment) passenger side. Directly below the positive battery terminal, right behind the radiator.

I have 3 good working units, would like a known bad one to take apart - use the electrical connection for something I want to do (relocate it). In my effort to make my car more user friendly & reliable on road trips I'm putting together a 928 first aid kit. So far I have things like a spare ECU, ingition module, relays, jumper wires etc... Getting at the ignition module is such a PIA and it's in a spot that gets very warm, I want to try moving it somewhere cooler, easier to access. Taking apart a bad one will allow me to use the factory plug - just add some wires. I do not want to cut up my harness.

Thanks!

Use a terminal remover, and remove all of the female terminals from the harness connector. Find more common M/F spade connectors, and put the harness and extension terminals in them. Put the harness connector on the end of the extension.

Or:

The Permatune box I had looked like they made their own connector, with male spades set in epoxy.

Find a small plastic box, and drill wire holes. Pull the extension wires through the box holes, and solder to spades. Insert the spades into the harness connector, fill the box with electrical epoxy, and carefully pull the spades back into the box until they're sitting in the epoxy.

I was considering one of these options for a wasted spark system using two Bosch boxes*, and 32V distributors, as I already have the 32V cam gears and hubs.

* Assuming the pickup signal from the 16V distributor could be shared...

If this doesn't work out, I'll make my own. I've done this before for other projects.

My 79 came with a Permatune - reason why it didn't run when I bought it.
