Default MY 85 - 86 Ignition wire routing

Anyone have any good pictures of the correct (original) ignition wire routing for the S3's? Using these clips as intended.

Hello Rick!

Disclaimer, these are Beru wires on my engine, but not the original ones. They were installed around 20 years ago. As far as I can tell, they have been routed in the factory manner.

Good luck, and I hope these are useful to you!

Thanks Seth.

I don't think any of my wires are attached to the fuel rails with brackets/holders.

Thanks! I’ve been scouring the internet for the proper wire brackets and routing for an S3!

Mine are wired as original. I can send pics tonight if you still need them, although I used a few other reference sources like pictures of engines from the 928 source books I have here. I also have the proper 85/86 wire set, not the later S4 set now used for 85/86, and which routes differently. You can come by and take pics too.

@linderpat I appreciate your responsiveness. I just wanted to thank @skpyle for the thorough pictures he took to document spark plug routing on the S3.

You are quite welcome! This is why I do this. To be able to give back and help the community. And...it helps to gloss over my mistakes.

Soooo...yeah. Exactly where am I putting these clamps?




Not quite ready for clamps on the vent hoses. Yet...
