Anyone know where I can find a wiring diagram for this beast. Some one in the past has wired a start button in it because it won't start with the key switch. Problem is it will start in any gear.
I don't even know where to start because so much is by passed.

We have one of these but can't find any wiring diagrams yet. If I find them I will let you know.

Hey Ron, Do you still have this bus? Have you ever timed it? I can't find the wire to disconnect to set initial ignition timing.

Yes I still have it and after I replaced the neutral start/reverse switch on the transmission I was able to isolate the problem to a relay. I replaced the relay and wired everything back up the way it's suppose to be and it's fine.
The only problem I can think it has was the neutral start relay was bad so some genius decided to bypass the neutral start and install a push button start in it.
No that person no longer works here.

Good to know. But, I was asking if you have ever used the timing marks to time the ignition. I had the distributor out and need to time it with the light. I can't find the brown wire to disconnect to time it. Mine has a 350 TBI engine.

BTW, I thought we were the only one in the world with one of these.
What state are you in?

WOW Diesel! Thanks anyway.
If anyone else has one of these in a 350 gas and has timed one please respond.

Been a while, but I think it is a single lead, weather pack connector brown wire If i remember right, very close to the distributor.
At the same time though LOL, I am thinking inside the bus, under the dash on the right side? Same idea, brown wire, single weather pack connector.
This will keep me awake.

I've stood on my head and looked under the dash on both sides, near the front left side of engine and near the distributor with NO luck.
Thanks for the info though.

I guess I would follow the harness from the distributor, and look for a single wire connector taped to it?
they were usually in a fairly convenient location.

After talking to some more people I found out you have to have a code reader, diagnostic tool to time this year engine. It doesn't have the wire to disconnect to time it.
