Oh yes my apologies, it's been somewhat converted to 12v, one alt was pulled, batteries were rewired. Again a somewhat poorly done job but it works so I haven't dug into it yet

I think I might do that, that system looks far simpler than the crap that's currently rigged in there. And it'd be a shame to just let that 110$ card collect dust. I guess I'll have to start finding parts then.

Ohhhh ok that would make more sense. Man I don't like that at all. Never would've figured it out without you guys though, thank God for this forum. Guess for now I'll just have to run this system then, thank you all for the help

Well that would explain the mess and MIA gp controller. So that thing down in the head is actually the controller? I thought it was the temp sensor, considering the civilian controller went in the driver's side head (correct me if I'm wrong) and the temp sensor was positioned in the pass side head.

Don't worry about it, I was already under there poking around anyway

As you can see some of the underhood wiring isn't right either, I don't know what the circular plug is that's just sitting there, but that civy stlye gp controller doesn't seem to be there so I'm not sure where the controller had been run to in this case. There's multiple wires spliced into...

Oh man the further I go the worse it gets. I'm not sure how this system functioned at all honestly, looks like I might have to rewire the whole system, or is it savable somehow?

At this point it really wouldn't surprise me, but if it were totally gone then how would the gp system function at all?

The one at the bottom, with the square plug connector is in fact connected to it's other half, just doesn't look like it in the photo. However, something else here isn't right. I had pulled the dash off to see up on top of it to try and follow some wires and clean up a few poorly done...

You mean this bundle here? Looks the same, except this plug is routed up around the top of the instrument clutser. I unplugged it and turned the key on, and the glow plug system still functioned, which correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't the glow plugs not be able to cycle with the card unplugged?

As I thought. Someone had said maybe one of the two smaller cards was the gp card so ipostee up for confirmation it wasn't. I'm gonna have yet another go under the dash trying to find it, hopefully I will

Ah there we go, seems the upload process is just quite slow, darn my lack of patience.

The new card is from Hillbilly Wizard. Its about 3"x3", whereas one of those cards from the smaller boxes I described are only 2"x2". I know the smaller cars are not the gp cards because they dont have nearly the same layout as the gp cards do, the resistors and small circuitry is vastly...

Yes thats correct according to my TM, they're the resistor board and tach buffer module as labeled in the book. Both boxes are the same size and too small to house the gp card. I looked around on the left side of the steering column but couldn't seem to find the gp box. Maybe I'm just that...

Yes that I know, but I can't find that box is the whole issue

Yeah the new card itself is right around that size so I believe it's the right one, just having trouble figuring out where someone hid the stupid thing, seems like they did a good job of it

Yes the light does come on, like I said they work but it's kinda finnicky. I have a rough idea of the size of the box since I have the new card sitting on the bench, so why I can't find it is absolutely baffling to me. I had no issue finding the tach buffer and the other box, which are both...

So I bought a new gp card for my 1010 since the stock one is starting to get a little finnicky and it's been making fir some pretty hard starts sometimes. Now I know that it's SUPPOSED to be on the left side of the steering column, but I sure as **** can't find it. Either that or I'm just blind...

That's extremely useful, thank you for this. That should solve my issue.
