Little bit of background first:
I bought a running 4BD1T from the adapter guy (David of isuzudieselswapper) off eBay early this summer. I've spent the entire summer planting it (and a 700r4 + NP241) firmly within my 1972 Jeep Commando. It's bolted in and i'm to the point where I've started to hook things up, wire it, etc. - But i'm running into things that just confuse my young, inexperienced brain:
1. Can someone explain the power steering pump assembly to me? I see two steel lines coming out of the pump, no reservoir, and I can't ID which is high pressure or low pressure.
2. On the alternator, I've guessed that the largest gauge wire is output to battery, but what are the remaining wires (I've only had experience with GM, one-wire alternators...)?
3. I've got an autometer diesel tachometer that feeds off the alternator, any tips on how to calibrate it?
4. I understand that, much like a tractor, this engine has a fuel stop cable. I can pretty easily just use my old choke cable to manipulate that. What is this "fuel start cable" business, and how do I make use of it (If I even need to?)
That's all I can think of at the moment because I'm not actually staring wide-eyed at my engine compartment.
Any help would be great fellas,
