I,ve read the instructions but feel the need for a little more before feeling confident to proceed.
Im hoping those with a similar set up will be able contribute. Photos especially appreciated

Job 1 - as said is understand the instructions. A fair few wires wont be needed so these can be identified and wrapped up out of the way or
discarded.
Job 2 is split the loom into smaller parts. Eg rear loom first - get it routed and ends of wires roughly where the lights etc will be (worth having an
electric fuel pump feed down there as well). Tidy it up, wrap it in conduit etc and clip to chassis. Then there is a bulk of wires out of the way.
Job 3 - maybe run in the front loom. Decide where the electrical bits will be and run wires to them. Conduit - clip and then another load iof wires ae
out of the way.
Job 4 is probs the under dash loom. Site the fuse box and the rest should be OK (ie feeds to clocks and switch gear etc).
Half of the battle is deciding where all the components will be and then you can run wires to that area. Making a start is probs the hardest bit.
Just do a little at a time and you will get there. Label wires up if you are in danger of forgetting next time you get access to teh car to do some
more.
After i had the looms roughly sited i spent a cuple of days soild wiring up. I managed to junk all of the Sierra switch gear and graft in a DD2 pro so
it cant be that hard
i used convoluted tube for conduit. If you forget a wire it can be tricky fitting another later. You can also used split conduit or self amalgamating
tape (looks like insulating tape but not sticky).
For the chassis clips dont use self adhesive cable tie bases - SVA dont like them. Pop a screw in the middle to hold secure or use P-clips.
Also pay attention to hot bits or rotating bits and either route wiring away from them or protect it (i havent got any wires running under the exhaust
for example).
Do a search for Pinto electronic dizzy wiring - there are some good posts on here. It is one if the easiest jobs. Or why not just go for megajolt
fromthe outset (its easier than you think and no harder to wire up when starting from scratch).
Where abouts are you? Someone local may be able to give you some inspiration.

I think you mean LOOM tape self amagamating tape is just that it doesn't just stick to itself it actually amalgamates, which is ideal for using
on the ends to seal loom tape and conduit.
as has been said where are you?
When I wire my Cat I laid the loom out on the lounge floor and labelled each of the connections which helped me understand how it should sit in the
car and just took it steady.

I should have been more specific maybe. Its the what goes between the end of the loom and the dizzy. Do i use the ecu or not. Do i need seperate
amplifier etc?
scrodinger you have u2u.

Also the wires you need to connect the coil amp dizzy are part of the original engine loom, you just need to connect the ign live to the amp/coil from
the premier wiring loom, make sure you have nice clean earths and all should be ok.
