Guys, anyone know how to fix the BCCD wire?  Or do I need to find a new solenoid?  

Also, thought I'd share a tip.  I needed to do some touch up painting in the engine bay.  I bought a Master Airbrush Model G22 on amazon.  It was 25 bucks and it works great.  I highly recommend

I’ve got two that are not quite as separated and I’ve thought about getting/using some liquid electrical tape

Edit: I can’t remember the brand I used before for something different, but it was thick and dried to a soft rubber consistently kinda like RTV/silicone. I thought about using Plasti Dip and just noticed they make a electric tape version.

thanks mailnome, I will give it a try.  Hoping the wire itself still works.  fingers crossed

Making great progress getting all the engine parts back together.  Ran into a couple of wiring questions, hope you guys can help

 

1.  I have two bullet connectors near the brake master cylinder and I do not know where they connect to

2. where do the white and blue wires with bullet connectors go to? 

 

3. this wire is broken and I am not sure where it goes

One more question regarding the charcoal canister.  Does anyone know what connects to this t-fitting?

The distributor's vacuum advance and the ported vacuum source on the bottom of the throttle body.  

Ported (throttle blade controlled) vacuum runs both of those.

Mine's a '77 with a ZX distributor so no help with the last two questions and a maybe on #1 at the brakes. My green/yellow stripe goes to the proportion valve down low. Mine is unhooked and I'm almost positive it was done so the brake light inside the gauge would go off. There was another wire under the passenger's seat I unhooked to finally get it to quit burning. I check the fluid all the time and rarely drive it but when I do it has good braking for that old of a car. Not a big fan of caution (idiot) lights on the dash. Fuel, temp and oil pressure is all I care about. 👍

What does it warn me of?

That one of your brake line circuits has a leak and now you are using the other circuit to do all the braking.

If one of the two circuits fails
