Re: fuse or relays

looks like, either nobody knows or nobody is on here anymore... Will be a lot easier to sell this car and put the money to finish something that is 60s GM based and more deserving than being bothered to fix this type of automotive lemon.

fuse or relays

What large fuses, flasher cans or relays are needed for the 2nd fuse panel up under a scorpion or sigma dash. Its positioned above the accelerator pedal Not the side fuse panel. I have no lights, accessories and I can't fire up the motor. So I'm assuming these are the culprits. Worse comes to worse ...

fuse or relays

My wife has a 82 scorpion I scored some time ago from the wreckers, it was a low mileage country car with no damage or rust or a motor but I scored another which I put in. The interior is mint and it was only missing the fuse/relays under the dash on the 2nd fuse panel above the accelerator pedal. I...

Re: fuses or relays ??

I've decided to persevere with trying to figure out what I need on that fuse panel. There are a few early magna's in the wreckers so i'll see what relays/fuses they run in them. But I'm not going to fit another scorpion harness in, worst comes to worse i'll fit an early holden one in. I have one her...

Re: fuses or relays ??

This is my last attempt to get it running. If not i'll push it to the back of the shed for a few years and later on ditch the wiring and drivetrain and fit a charger harness in along with a 340/torqueflite auto and a narrowed VH dash. If something is too complicated I'm not afraid to modify it into ...

Re: fuses or relays ??

The harness is o.k it doesn't need a replacement. Its just the top relays etc in the fuse box above the gas pedal that are missing. I'm assuming that the ones I sourced from the sigma 's at my local wreckers might be o.k. I have the two lower ones, the middle row with flasher cans but none of the to...

How many coils need to be clipped to go 50mm or 75mm lower. Is it the old standard of half a coil for a 1 inch drop.

Hey guys I'm chasing a full wireing diagram for a 1982 scorpion. I have one from a 78 sigma but its a lil outdated and I don't have a need for a full repair manual.

So could someone post one up for me to copy or direct me to somewhere I can....

just wondering which steering column wires do I need to locate for wireing up a neutral safety switch in a challenger/scorpion. Having used a scorpion as a donar for kats dodge. Normally I'd source the coil wireing (black with white stripe) from the ignition. Is this the easiest way to source it. Or...

Re: Width of Scorpion Dash?

Put a VH Charger dash in our 80's challenger, it backdates the look inside about 10yrs. Had to narrow the ends to suit plus fit the metal sub structure beneath it. Looks plenty tough. Anything is possible when it belongs to you.

Re: how much did you pay for your engine?

They paid me $50 to take my mill away, mines a 2000 astron from a 84 I think. I brought it home in the boot of my sled. Looked cool tyed upright in there. I was laughing pretty hard as I cruised up the mainstreet deliberately slowing down to hit all of the lights. Cool I thought, a twin engine kustom.
