1.6 carb to kjet 16v wiring help

The next step is the engine bay loom, which has got me wondering about what to do with the mk3 8v ECU that is part of the loom still, and joining in the 16v ECU and kjet stuff.
I'm yet to have a proper sit down and try at it, but any tips as to the general direction I should head in?

If it was a short i'd expect it to shoot straight over to max ? It may be a cluster problem the Speedo has stopped working, the worm drive is connected and in place so i wonder if i've managed to pull it loose from the back of the cluster, this may have caused problems with the ribbon or connector, will investigate at the end of the week

check the braided earth from the rocker cover to one of the coil mounting bolts is present, or fit one if missing. this was an addition on later mk1 and mk2 and it can help with dodgy clusters
plus do the usual checks on all the earths behind the fusebox, plus if its a gti cluster the earth for it runs to the side of the head look for a brown/white wire

I've got the mk2 16v engine bay looms, and i'm steadily getting there. I'm running the wires in the wing, and the battery in the boot. For the fuesbox earth (chunky brown) that goes to a multi-splice, and then to the battery neg, can I just splice into that near the fusebox and run inside back to the battery?
Also I'm in need of a starter cable, from battery, any recommendations on size/rating?
cheers for all the help/inspriation!

as long as that earth has a good solid connection to another chunky earth back to the battery you should be fine. however what I would do is get some battery cables from a BMW or similar, the type with junction terminals in the engine bay for the battery cabling. run the fusebox and gearbox live/earths to those

The earth cable back to the battery needs to be pretty chunky then.
I have bought a BMW + cable and the terminal, just need a - terminal and the cable

Also, where does the Black wire that goes from the throttle position switch go? 16v Haynes manual says low level coolant switch - I dont see it anywhere! I've deleted the expansion tank, and using a 1.3 top fill rad with one thermo switch - no level sensor.
aaaaand….where do I get vacuum for the WUR?
Any help - much appreciated

black wire is ignition live, it just goes via the low level warnign control relay ign live spade
wur vacuum comes from the pipe on the 5th injector housing for the ISV

So ive got the (charged) battery earthed in the boot now, and the starter earth is in the engine bay. I get ignition power and my headlights work (yes!) but i go to start and the starter engages with a click but doesnt turn. Maybe theres an earthing issue - I have yet to fit the gearbox to body engine head to coil mounting earths.
I am yet to buy a multimeter as well, so any recommendations on one to buy?
