I've spent the last week getting the Milt Binion 140 EFI motor in my '65
Corsa EO 'vert and finally got it happy a few minutes ago. A fair amount of
troubleshooting revealed three (three!) broken wires leading to the #6 injector.
For whatever reason, the copper was corroded at the injector connector and
both were broken off there (hidden under the rubber boot) plus one of those
same wires was broken about an inch away from the injector connector under the
harness covering. To make it even more fun, the schematic that Mr. Binion
published in the Tech guide and Communique is slightly different than this
car's wiring. That's a little odd since this motor is the exact motor shown in
the Communique pictures, all the way down to the "goof" patch in the upper
shroud. I think he photographed this motor (it's highly detailed) but published
the "latest" schematic rendition. The hardest part about working on this
motor is that it's impossible to find a tool if you put it anywhere near the
all-chrome engine. Tools just blend in! I shudder when I think about working
on the engine outside in bright sunlight. Now all that's left with the job
is to button-up the undercar fuel system; it probably wouldn't do to drag the
electric fuel pump along attached only by wires and hoses :)
Happy day!
