Subject:Re: 1.9 to 2.1 conversion, swapping harness/ecu

The connectors in the black box on the firewall are different.  The
2.1 harness uses round multi connectors, so you'll have to do some
adapting there.  I did this when fitting a DJ-code harness to my 84.
Although Digijet, the DJ harness uses MV style connectors, idle
stabilizer, throttle position and PS sensor.  I can make pics
available when you are ready for it.
