Tidying up engine bay wiring hj60

[Oosti_1]

I’d say I’m a beginner at auto electronics, but need to save some money and do the work myself.

What’s the best way to go about restoring engine bay to stock/fixing wiring in the engine bay? The previous owners have got dodgey wiring and it’s spahgetti. Anyone got a photo of a stock hj60 2h 1983 engine bay?

Does your truck have the external voltage regulator?

No idea haha. How do I figure this out? what does it look like

An internal regulator will be inside the alternator. If external it will look something like this:

It will be mounted on the inner wing / guard near the alternator.
My car has the internal vesion so any wiring pics will differ thats all.

In order to replace the electrical wiring in the engine bay, you would have to either replace some of the wiring looms behind the dash, or cut the bad ones off and use a soldering iron and mend new wires on. It would take a mammoth amount of effort knowing the old 60 series. Be warned it is a bigger maze behind the dash. And watch out for the battery terminal wires. Otherwise, you could always just put some money aside for it and send it off to an auto deasil electrician. I hope that this information helps. Cheers
